MS3 GT w/ SmartCard Entry

[206B3]

Dealer here in Colorado thinks all 2008.5 MS3 GT's are being shipped w/ SmartCard as standard in lieu of key and Fob. Card is size of 5mm thick credit card, and when in proximity of driver door will sense and unlock w/ touch of small button on door handle. Dials on dash have been changed from red to white. Anyone know of this change?

I don't think this is accurate. I was just at the dealer a couple of days ago looking at a white one (I already have a CBM) and nothing there regarding the card. I don't think any Mazdas have this. I would say the whole thing is false.

There is a MS3 Pearl White in the showroom with this, SCard and White Needles on the dials. I've seen it! The actual key is a pull-out from the card but check this out, once in the car you don't have to insert the key just turn the ign and away ya go!

Recently Mazda began offering "Advanced Keyless Entry" or SmartCard for GT's as an option. Learn by doing!
