Rod,
IMHO you better off getting you key copied/duplicated rather then cut from code. Unless you are the original owner, many of us cannot grantee that the lock cylinders have note been replaced/re-keyed.
The dealer will cut you a key from the VIN's code, but if it will not work, you are SOL with no refund.
I think I have an original key, but I have had a copy copied, and there was no drift on the 3rd copy.
Cheers,
Michael
BTW, for all of you with only one key....
GET AN EXTRA KEY!!!
