2013~2016 Can I get an OEM Mazda blank key blade?

[PatrickGSR94]

After 4.5 years of ownership, we finally got another key for our 2014 CX5. It only came with one, and we've been making do all the time. I bought a new transmitter from carandtruckremotes.com, which came with a blank key blade. We took it to the Mazda dealer this morning, and they were able to get the proximity key fob programmed. But they cut the blank key blade, and it sort of works, but not very well. They told me it was thinner than the OEM key blade. I checked it when I got home, and it's true. The OEM key blade is ~2.6mm and the new one is about 2.2mm, and the thinner edges on each side of the blade are about 0.2mm thinner than OEM.

I'd like to try to find an OEM key blade, if possible, to keep in the transmitter. But I don't see it listed separately on Mazda parts websites.

Okay so I found the key blade, but I see 2 different part numbers. Anyone know what the difference between these are? KDY3-76-201, and D6Y1-76-2GXC. First number is about $15 and the second one about $25.

It’s really hard to tell the difference between the two from these online pictures. And based on some aftermarket key blank website, these two key blanks should be compatible to each other. I’d go to a Mazda dealer checking the correct part number of the key blank with the VIN. Make sure you can insert the thicker genuine key blank into the aftermarket key fob.
