DESCRIPTION
There are currently 2 methods for cutting a new auxiliary key blank.
• A. Auxiliary Key Trace Cut Method
• B. Auxiliary Key Code Cut Method

Auxiliary Key Blank

NOTE:
• 2019 and newer models require a 10-digit key code to accurately cut keys
• 5-digit codes CANNOT be provided for 2019 and newer vehicles (the traditional 5-digit code from the key tag or
driver's door lock cylinder is not sufficient and will not be issued for key cutting on these models).
• Only Mazda-approved key cutting machines can process these 10-digit codes.
• Many older key machines do not support 10-digit codes and cannot be updated to do so. In these cases, dealers
will need to purchase one of the newer Mazda-approved key cutting machines capable of handling this
requirement.
• For a list of current Mazda-approved machines and purchasing options, refer to the Mazda Dealer Equipment
Program or view the current Mazda approved key machines below.
