I'm not sure about a 2001 Miata but many (if not all) auto makers don't
flash the keys ... they update the ECU to accept the new key which has a
unique-in-the-world ID installed at the time of manufacture. My wife's car
allows the owner to add a new key by following a procedure in the user
manual (not shop manual) with another known-good key in hand. Higher-end
cars like a Mini require a dealer with a programming machine to do it.

Subject: replacement switch key
2001 Miata LS
Does anyone know of a reliable source for chip type switch keys?
I have the original code number tag for my car, so I think I should be
able to get a key flashed without having the car there.
Anyone have better intelligence on this?
Thanks
