> Has anyone had success getting copies made at their local hardware > store by using original keys or does everyone get theirs cut by code? I've had zero success finding a local hardware store or superstore that carries the X29/VO73 key blank. However, my favorite local locksmith stocks the blank, and has made perfectly functioning copies of the one key I got with my car, and perfect 2nd generation copies from the first one he cut for me. Good thing, since I don't have the code for my keys (the VIN numbers in my doors don't match my car, or each other, so I don't trust the key codes I see there). I highly recommend you go to a small local locksmith for these keys. YMMV, but mine charged under $4 per key total.
