I managed to damage the key fob plastic while opening it to replace the battery.
The price that the dealership wants for a replacement is unconscionable, so I decided to order a shell from ebay and just replace the electronics.
To make a long story short, even though the item page says it is compatible with a 2012 Mazda 3 SkyActiv, the circuit board does not fit. I assume it is meant for a slightly different model that looks very similar on the outside.
So, question #1: does anyone know where can I find a fob shell that is guaranteed compatible with my key (part number BBM4-67-5RY)?
Alternatively, where can I get an aftermarket fob that I can reprogram to work with the car (and the other fob that I have). Should be 315MHz I believe.
Thank you!
Also, if anyone needs a shell for a fob with FCC ID: KPU41788, I have a spare.
