Take vehicle registration, and drivers license (showing same address / proving ownership) to a Mazda Dealership. The dealer can use the V.I.N. to cut a replacement key.
Other options include buying a replacement ignition lock cylinder (with key) from dealer and replacing the ignition lock, however, the new key will not work on the doors/trunk.
As near as I can tell, the difference between the master key and valet key is that the master is slightly thicker -- they are both cut with exactly the same pattern. So as long as you get a master blank, and they are readily available (I have not been able to find a valet blank, the narrower one), have it cut to with the valet and you will have a new master.
A Mazda Dealer's Parts Department can cut a new key from the car's VIN number.
Its a valet key because it does not allow access to the trunk and glove box.
Take the spare/valet key out of it's holder on the fob. In the slot, under where the head of the valet key is stored, is a grey slide lock. Using the valet key or a similar tool, slide the gray lock under the body of the rest of the fob. This will unlock and push up the top of the fob. Pull out the internals and replace the battery. Two CR2025, in my key.
Remove the valet key from the fob and behind it is a small Phillips screw. After that the fob will split and the battery is visible.
Normally the difference between a Valet and Master key is the Valet key will not work in the glove box or trunk of the vehicle. The actual differences in the keys are either the grooves in the key or the thickness of the key which restrict it from going into the locks. Occasionally the valet key may not have certain cuts on it to work those locks.
A master key is an original operating key and operates all locks on a vehicle. Sometimes there are two keys, a master and a valet. The valet key is used when you drop off a car for someone else to park. A valet key will not open a trunk or glove box.
It Locks your trunk and gas tank so that when you give a valet the valet key all they can do is open the door and start the car ... that way you can leave things in the trunk and not worry about a valet stealing them the valet key is the one that is grey or round depends on which Honda you have
valet keys do not allow access to glove box and trunk
Pressing valet mode locks the glovebox and trunk so that only your own 'proper' key can open them. The valet key cannot open those; it can only operate the engine and the doorlocks. Actually, you have to manually lock the glove box, but other than that the answer is correct. Just make sure you give the valet the green key, not the black key.
