Just go to the dealer. I agree that you should change your locks. You never know who has your keys.

By having a spare key that will unlock the door but not start the car it will prevent you from being locked out. With the electric door locks on modern cars its easy to lock the car with the keys inside. The ignition key is computer coded and quite expensive to replace. A locksmith is able to copy the ignition key but not copy the computer code so you have an inexpensive key that will open the doors and trunk.

I think you will find that the coded ignition is very expensive to duplicate. Changing all the locks and the coded keys is a really expensive undertaking. Be cheaper to up the insurance to full coverage.

miesposo himself ordered this machine and he says it should work on most car brands up until 2009-2010.
edgar is in POP but will travel if need be.

sometimes that can be of value too. we used to have a montero with a spare key that would only open the door, normal metal key. when on the beach we left THE key in the car and miesposo went into the water with a metal copy in the pocket of his swimming trunk. safe and sound.
