Lost ignition keys.
I have lost my ignition keys for my 96 C4.
I live on an island in the Pacific, and don't have access to any type of after market stores etc.
Security is not high on my list, so any quick/easy form of installation of a new unit would be helpful.
I have access to rock auto on line or any other helpful tips.
Cheers, Morgan

No matter what you do you need the key code number, before buying new ignition cylinder or keys made.
Good luck since your on Island do they have dealership?
With your vin number the dealership if they still have the tools can cut you new set of keys!

I have had keys made with no originals available. Dealers and good general locksmiths can do with with your vin number and proof of ownership. You could probably do this via phone or internet and have the keys shipped to you.

OP - how talented are you? Do you believe you could accomplish the replacement of the cylinder yourself if you had one? It's pretty straight forward.
