I dont have a spare key...
Car I bought only came with 1 key, are these keys simple to make copies of?

It's a couple bucks at any roadside keysmith. The dealer can set you up for about $75.00 for a logo key.

That reminds me that I too must get a key made. My car came with only one key as well and it has the little light inside the head. Does anyone know where I can get a direct replacement? The dealer wanted some outrageous figure to copy the key.

I took mine to Reeves here in Tampa. They had OE blanks and made the copies for me for only a few bucks.

I bought the blanks from Pelican and had them cut at a local locksmith. Cheap fix for OEM keys.

If you have an alarm and only one key, make one or two of them.

Hey that's a cool idea. I'm down to one key since I've misplaced my main key so I think I'll make some lightweight racing keys too... ;-)

You're lucky,--the new keys are MASSIVE and rediculously expensive to replace!
