More info when/if avalible please. Was it towed off or did they steal a key? Engine doesn't like to start without the proper electronic signal from the key. Be interesting to know if them damn theives found a way around that.

You mean the super sekrit 14 step override process? I'm not sure if mazda has the same thing, but I know Honda's do.

Doesnt it have an anti theft chipped key?

Yea, it does, and it tied to the ECU. When I first did my swap, I didn't change out the key cylinder, so it wouldn't start and gave a signal through the security light that the key's chip didn't match what was programmed into the ECU. Would be interesting to find out what happened, but if it's not recovered, might be hard to find out.
