Thanks for the reply mate.
Looks like they only fitted them from 96 onwards.............just my luck.The immobilser is fitted under the centre consul near the ECU.

Theres a shed load of wires attatched to the immobiliser, so bypassing it looks very difficult.
I`m guessing my problem is the thing ...

I have a older model , that is not fitted with a factory fitted immobiliser.

$300 for a key code

Managed to get a key from mazda for a salvage mx-3 96 v6 model.

wont start because of the immobiliser .I need a 4 digit code, which you can only get from mazda ...............they have to take the car in, its going to cost $300.

The price seems completely unfair.......
