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

Contact McGard at http://www.mcgard.com/Home/About and tell them you need #15 key. Cost me about $16.
