I remember a while back there was discussion about getting switchblade keys working on our gen of Speed 3's. I was at the dealer today fiddling with a new speed 3 and ogling the switchblade keys. The dealer claims that the frequency for the remotes are different and the 2012 key will not work for an '07. While I don't really trust the dealer i'm fairly sure he was telling the truth. Can anyone confirm? I'd really like to have one of the new keys...
Switchblade Key for '07?

What do they look like? Bc you can get a blank one from eBay, have the key cut, put your key fob circuit board in and have a switchblade like I did with my msp.... You can search eBay, I think it's from a Mazda 3 not to sure though
Edit: here's the exact key I have

that's what they look like for sure. i'd like to hear from someone who has it working on their MS3 before i get one though... anyone??
edit: I went ahead and got 2 of them off ebay for $16.55 My only worry is they key itself. I know it has to be matched to the car somehow and I have forgotten that procedure...

i currently have a switchblade for my 07. i bought one off of ebay. something like this: https://www.ebay.com (commissions earned)
and then i bought a key with transponder like this: https://www.ebay.com (commissions earned).
go and get both new keys cut. program the non-switch blade key in the car (there should be directions somewhere on this forum of how to program it yourself). rip open the top of the key and take out the transponder. place the transponder into the new flip case (as close as possible to where the key is so that it is right next to the ignition when in the car). install the cut flip key, put the fob together, and voila. you have a switchblade key.
let me know if you have questions.
