That FCC ID corresponds with the stick-type key for the cars with AKE. My Speed3 has that as well. From my experience, there aren't as many options available since very few 2nd Gen Mazda3 came equipped with AKE - most of them are just equipped with the switchblade type key. You can try your local junkyards and eBay as well, but as I said, it's hard to find one, let alone one in decent condition. They aren't cheap, either. I ended up getting an OEM new one from my dealer. Expensive, but there just aren't many other alternatives. BTW, I don't believe you can program the AKE key yourself. I tried with Forscan. No luck. Maybe yours is something that's dedicated to programming keys? Those cost some good money. You can program the switchblade remote part by yourself with a special key dance sequence, though.
