My 2006 Mazda RX8 won't recognize that the key is in it?

I believe there is a procedure listed in the owners manual to re-aquiant the key fob w/ the vehicle. Other than that check to make sure the battery is ok, or call the dealership if you are still under 50K miles. Owners Manual can be found at Mazdausa.com Reference:RX-8 Owner

I lost all my keys to my 2006 mazda rx-8. What should I do ? I can lose my job?
I called the dealer and was told that it would cost me 634.00 dollars as they have to reprogram and all that. Anyone know any cheap alternatives? I can buy the key fob and key from ebay for about 80 bucks. What more can i do ?

2006 Mazda RX-8 vs '04 and '05?

So I'm wondering if it's worth spending the extra money on getting a 2006 version of the car other than a '04 or '05. I've heard the '04s and '05s had a lot of problems (other than the recalls), that's why so many of them are being sold. But I've also heard...

Well, The 2004 RX8's were the first production models, so they were guaranteed to have problems and recalls. Ours only had one recall, and not a ton of problems. * I would buy and 05 with lesser miles, maybe like 60K, and use the extra $3,000 to buy rims and exhaust, etc. But, if you...

Best Spark Plugs for a 2006 Mazda RX-8? NGK Iridium Laser?
I have heard these spark plugs can add a very noticable gain in H/P. Consist of Four Plugs Two Leading and Two Trailing. Let me know.

A few years ago I could not get iridium for my 2nd gen. They were too new to the market. But I have had very good luck with platinum in it. I run the Iridium in my Tracker and Samuari, and have gained almost 2 mpg in my Tracker's 16v 1.6L. It was a very noticiable upgrade for a 100 hp engine. And...
