knowing my luck, I would break this key in half if I tried to open it all the way and do any soldering I will give it a try ONLY as a last resort.

I really appreciate the help everyone. I'll give them a call sometime this week and update the thread with what I find. Thanks for all the input

oh god! I have been looking the past few nights and found an OEM key, but i'm not sure if the site is trustworthy... anyone know of reputable places to buy keys? Or anyplace in town I can go to and get a quote?

but....$1200?!? There has to be another way. Who was the locksmith you used? they have a number I can call?

for a while now I have wanted to replace my key (picture below) because something inside (the key) has broken and the buttons on the outside of my car and the keyless ignition no longer works. I wanted to get a quote for a replacement key and I was told by Mazda directly that a replacement would have to include two keys, reprogramming, and cutting at a price of $1200. They can kiss my entire A$$ asking for that much... My question to CR is, Does anyone here know of a much cheaper way to do this? I have seen a few of them on second hand websites and ebay, but i never know who I can trust. I'm just looking for a way to get my key working again. It would be nice to use the keyless feature again. Things I am looking for: Anyone here a locksmith? Anyone know of a trustworthy site to order one for cheap? A place to have the key programmed or cut? Anyone here work for a Mazda dealership? I'm open to thoughts and suggestions I can still drive the car, and the buttons on the remote still lock and unlock the car. The only not functioning thing with the key is that the car no longer detects it and the light on the key no longer blinks in proximity to the car.

Happy Birthday Doc!

I might stop by, sounds fun

Ever try Student Rush tickets?... Upper bowl is $15 and lower bowl is $25 a ticket (Max 2 tickets). You just need some type of student I.D. from someone or have someone let you barrow theirs.

If you are looking on the high end, I would go with the Benq XL2720Z @ $500 This monitor is complete overkill if you are ONLY playing console games because for $500 you are buying a REALLY kick ass monitor. This thing has 1ms response time, support for up to 144hz and is used by the professional gamers for the best picture and proformance. This monitor is the one you almost always see at eSports events. http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-XL2720Z-Gaming-Monitor-Resolution/dp/B00GWFNMJS/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1457102855&sr=1-5&keywords=benq+gaming+monitor&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011 ************************************************** If you are looking on the low end, I would go with the Samsung S27E591C @ $320 Samsung makes good monitors and I have seen this one in person. It is bright and has a good picture. You can plug in a PC via the Display port adapter or use the pass through on your xbox. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-27-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor-S27E591C/dp/B00TR056SU/ref=sr_1_24?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1457103037&sr=1-24&keywords=gaming+monitor&refinements=p_n_size_browse-bin%3A3547807011 ************************************************** Honorable Mentions? The LG 29UM67 @ $379 I use this monitor daily. it is an Ultrawide monitor (2560x1080) and supports 1920x1080 gaming. Your Xbox will look stretched, but the image is amazing on this monitor and the response time is respectable as well. http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-29UM67-29-Inch-LED-lit/dp/B00VBNQJKU/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1457102946&sr=1-5&keywords=lg+gaming+monitor ************************************************** Here is a LG 32MP58HQ @ $299 as well, great monitor for the price. http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-32MP58HQ-P-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B01BV1X9DG/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1457103722&sr=1-2&keywords=32+inch+monitor

yea, Very few games on Xbox One push over 30 FPS, so technically a 60hz monitor is overkill for an Xbox One.

I'm looking forward to going out more. Going to dump some money into the 8 sometime in April so I might miss a few events.

Any word on the sale? I would love the chance to help fix a blown Renesis or at the very least help you figure out the cause of the failure. As I said before, I am always interested in parts if you don't want some

SWAG! (⌐■_■)

@ Miller

(just a personal opinion, but...)The design feels extremely noisy to me. Scoops/vents, gills, stripes, jagged angles, hard curves, and just about everything they could think about they seem to have thrown in without a cohesive design language. The interior is ok i guess Hard to hold the design of the car against it with specs like that... very nice! :thumbup:

Looks good for an 04... Sorry about the blown engine. Let me know how the sale goes. I am always looking for spare parts. The "Limited" badge on the back is a bit confusing, haha. There was no such thing from the factory.

they look like a giant snowflake! :thumbup: I like em a lot man, hope you enjoy them!

eh, I use this name everywhere

Wait... i guess he is telling the truth.... Scion XB KM50308 2004-06 SCION XB http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/wacAAOSwNSxU9iQj/s-l1600.jpg

OBJECTION!!! The wheel in that picture does not reflect the one in the first post. I was between Lexus and Scion in my search... http://edge.alluremedia.com.au/m/k/2012/09/phoenix-wright-objection1.jpg

Me thinks it's a Lexus based off the construction... My search continues

I honestly don't know how they calculate it because I have one credit card and always pay off the balance each month and my score has actually gone down some months. I always pay my bills on time and have 0 balance at the end of the month and once my score dropped by 21 points and then the next month it went up by 37 O_o
