You’ve gotta be stressed but Mad_Malc correct
Which MX-5 do you have ??
Last time I did this with my NBFL I resorted to calling my now ex-gf out for a 20 mile round trip with the spare key at a really unsociable hour when she had a streaming cold. Some time later she dumped me for unrelated reasons, her daughter did not approve, and told me to keep the NBFL which she bought !

Been there, done that with my first NC. Missus had to come to the rescue with the spare key.
To make sure it didn’t happen again, I had a spare key cut (just the metal bit - no transponder, no fob) and put it in a waterproof plastic pouch with several strong magnets and attached it to the rear underbody. This means I can retrieve it and stick the key in the boot release lock on the back panel if it happens again.

If you’re daft enough to put your key in a Farady bag and then somehow lock it in the boot at a motorway services , far from home , it’ll cost you 200 quid to get it sorted by the RAC’s lock guy . This happened to a …ummm… .close friend .

So whilst we are waiting for Kenny1 to advise us which MX-5 he has
We seem to be sharing when we’ve experienced similar…
I’m grateful to littleredrooster for reminding me that I only have one key for Bullit [spare got lost in the post …literally] and how he had a further (?) spare cut that didn’t involve transponder/fob etc
Advise Please
Meanwhile sharing similar embarrassing moments
1978-81: female police officer…left key in ignition and locked drivers door via handle in Panda Car [Mark II Escort] to rush to domestic violence incident…resolved …only officer to attend…but got back to vehicle…Oh *****
So radio call for help to ‘Mick the Key’ [Experienced male officer who had spare keys for most known vehicles at that and known for accessing 98% of all cars]
But whilst I was waiting [embarrassing enough to call for ‘Mick the Key’]…I noticed that the Passenger Side was unlocked …So Double Embarrassment !!
‘Mick the Key’ then taught me how to access some vehicles [back in the day when the door button was above the door card] with a stiff cheque book cover and a strip of stiff parcel tape
And I recall being off duty and going to the aid of a female driver who’d locked her key in the ignition whilst filling up with petrol and I got her in via ‘Mick the Key’ method
So…avoid Stereotyping what females carry in their handbags back in the olden days 
This method didn’t help me when locked myself out of Mark IV Escort in York car park in early 90s
Fortunately rang my mechanic [before mobile phones] and he sent guy with long ‘straight blade figmebob’ to jiggle the lock
…from memory only £25…back in the olden days
It’s great that modern tech etc keeping our vehicles safe from thieves etc
But I’ve probably lost the plot …
What happens when a ‘numpty’ owner tries to break in to our own vehicles ???
And also thieves etc can be reading these posts
So maybe ‘don’t answer on a postcard’ solutions but via PMs system
Hope u get access soon Kenny1

Whatever happened to blue nylon parcel tape 
A great way to get into any of the pre 1982 Volvo models when I was working for a Volvo dealer back in the day

Yep…now you come to mention it
I kept my blue nylon parcel tape for some years post police on the off chance I could assist a distressed motorist until they started putting the door button below the card and also when I think about it they stopped doing hard covers for cheque books too…don’t know whether it related
I think it’s true to say that as vehicle manufacturers adapt to anti-theft methods so do the thieves and nowadays it seems about hacking the modern tech in vehicles and cloning and identity theft etc
So whilst I admire all the ‘bells and whistles’ on the new NDs and think they very handsome looking beasties
I’m kinda relieved that NB Bullit hasn’t got that level of tech
I mean protecting the smart phone and laptop which most of us have to do as everything goes on-line is not cheap…as is the purchase of these items
Then it all goes to pot e.g. recent outage and I was unable to order essential meds for a few days
I can see the advantages of modern tech/AI etc…so clever !
But sometimes I think us humans get too clever for our own good !!
Kenny1…Are You Back In Yet ??

I sent Kenny a private message and there has been ‘no reply’ so I wonder if he is now locked in his boot along with his keys.
Strange how someone puts a hand out for some assistance and then can not be a___d to respond, never mind, no one died, unless!!!

In the absence of any further input from the OP we’ll assume the problem is resolved and close this now.
