WOW

I don't know the cheapest way to go - I think your first opton would be to talk to the dealer and see if they can track down the key information. If not, then the only way to go MAY be to replace the cylinders....

Sounds like a reasonable solution.

Thats part of the key info. Its the Vats pellet, there are about 20 different ones, but all you need to know is the # for the one that works with your car. Once you have the number, get the key, anyone can cut it.
