hot wiring the ignition won't unlock the wheel. this is a mechanical lock that is released by turning the key. might be easier to remove the lock assembly or have a locksmith pick the lock and cut a new key. Mazda dealer may be able to find the key code from the VIN and cut a new key. locksmith is probably the easiest and cheepest fix.
