They won't cut you a key with the VIN#? Bring the title, or some other proof of ownership(insurance cards usually have a VIN) and tell them what happened.

if all you needed was a key cut that usually works just fine but since he has the immobilizer chip they need to reprogram it.

I searched and I can't seem to find any pictures but I could have sworn it is located in the center console right to the side of the shifter itself. Should just be a little slot or something iirc.

On the 6th gen, on the left side of the shifter, about where "P" is, there is a cover about 1/2 inch long, with a slot on the side of it; remove the cover and stick something in there.

from waht i remmeber in my old 99 v6, u had to pry off the trim ring around the base of the shifter to get to the interlock release.

dont forget u will still need a key to atleast relase the steering wheel lock so u can manuver to car onto the trailer. unles of course u have enogh room to line the trailer right behind or infront of the car.
