Go in your trunk, pull up the bottom carpet until you can see the spare tire. Somewhere in there is a black bag, open the bag, the key to your bolt is in there.

Mine was inside the black velcro bag that held the tire iron.

Well, the good news if you don't have it I can send you mine. It works on the 2 different MSP's. Maybe 3 if you get desperate lol.

EDIT: this may seem obvious but don't forget we have unidirectional tires;)

Heres a trick if you can't find it.....

Get a 12 point socket (1/2" drive) that is just about the same size as the lug nut. Take a heavy hammer and bang it on the lug. Then take a breaker bar (1/2" drive) and take the lock lug off.

Note: this usually works for 1 wheel only unless you want to buy 4 sockets. You can't reuse them afterwards.

Just a little trick I have learned over the years.

uhh don't do that... you can fuck up your rims.... go talk to your dealer and ask them for the damn key... if they don't have it, call mazda HQ and get them to send you a key

sometimes they tie it to the lug wrench in the car. That what the instructions say to do.

also dont worry any garage can get them off if they break them

If you use an impact socket you won't ruin the socket ( they're stronger. Or check in the driver's side rear corner in the fender, under the carpet. Thats where mine is.

Mine was in the glove box in a white plastic bag.
