Hope you had better luck with the dealer than I did. I had the package with code, but the dealer gave me nothing but the special order BS and no help what so ever. They told me to buy a new set of locks and use the easy-outs from Sears. The lug removing sockets from sears will not work on our alloy lug nuts. The 11/16 twelve point is the only way to go.
Good Luck!

The parts department can only order parts.

The service department needs to have a full set of keys so they can work on cars even if the customer has misplaced or lost the keys.

Of course, if the dealer is a jerk, that may not work either.

That's what I did with my old Boxster...not that it was cheaper than the socket

Do folks still steal wheels? Wasn't that just something to do before the invention of identity theft
