A couple of weeks ago my key decided to do the typical separation from the FOB body. What a crap design. Anyway, I ordered blank replacements with the intent of having a couple of spares when for the next time the key and plastic decide to call it a day.
Instead of tracing my fairly old key, I decided that I'd have the dealership cut me new ones using the vehicle VIN. Should be a slam dunk. After 30+ minutes and several staff members in the parts department trying to sort out the problem and/or trick the computer, it was a no go. The database is incorrect. After all that, they graciously cut the blanks by tracing my current key and sent me on my way without charge.
Moral of the story, the key codes are incorrect for 2002 LC's in Big T's database. Always keep a clean key to trace from.
