Default Lost the only key to my car.

Sup guys. I lost the only key to my car.... Fortunately this is only a project car and I can still start it using a screwdriver but Im eventually going need a real key. Does anyone know how I am going to get a new key.... Please dont tell me i have to get new key holes and ignition for my entire car....

I know what ur thinking. This guy is stupid.... True, but i looked everywhere for it. It's probably somewhere under my nose, but just incase I never find it I wanna know how il get a new key

Take the VIN, and proof of ownership to the dealership and they should be able to help you.

Sorry... I didn't even search but Yeah. I just did and found that out. I'm relieved somewhat, but still banging my head on the table...

Do u know how much it would cost for that service? I just have a regular 92. No special chip or anyhing like that

or if you have any of the key slots off the car. look at the 4 digit number on the cylinder that is your key code. then take code to the dealership... but either way your going to the dealership no matter what, its better you'll get a cleaner cut key that way

i had the same thing happen to me, i just went to the dealer with a copy of my title and they made me a copy for $4 at the time (3 years ago). I went there this past summer to get some spares made (cause i didn't have any) and they were $8 now.

i assume that they just take the plate number to the DMV, paid a fee, and they off with all the information about your car.

they did a special on 60 minutes or 20/20 a year or so ago with this exact thing. They got like 10 VINs from different manufacturers and only asked like 3 times for any type of ownership proof. They had a girl do it and she sweet talked a couple of the guys into doing it for her. It was quite informative but funny.

That's why I swapped complete locksets with a friend of mine. Now the VIN and locks don't match

Okay, I haven't actually done it, but I've thought about it!
