[DML] Re: no ign key

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's usually no need to go to all that trouble.

If you pull the driver's side headliner, the computer code for the 
key is usually written in black marker on the bare metal. This was 
done at the factory.

Key blanks are readily available, either from DMCH or sometimes from 
your local hardware store. I've even seen them sold on Ebay but 
they're overpriced. The single-key cars used an ilco x29, the two-
key system cars (earlier VINS) used an ilco x29 and another type 
which I forget. (x30 or 33?)

Once you get the blanks, you can go to any locksmith with a cutting 
computer system and he'll plug the numbers in and it'll cut a new 
key without having to have the original.

Kevin Creason is an owner who's online and monitors the DML cut my 
keys for me. If you look him up in the archives he can give you more 
detailed information and probably cut keys for you.

Hope this helps,
