Locked out - next steps?

mobile locksmith

 

You are aware that if this is the original FOB that came with the car, there is a metal key hidden inside it, correct?

 

Bummer. Two keys and two fobs are non-negotiable when I buy. If the dealer won't supply them, I don't need the car that bad.

So, now that the inevitable has happened, I'd think @bisco has the most straightforward temporary solution with the mobile locksmith. But it will happen again, so once you get the car running, which might or might not need a jump, the first thing on the list is to get a second fob and both keys cut. Your non-dealer hybrid shop is likely to have the best price assuming the place where you bought the car can't make it right. Nice thing about the Gen 2 is that it's a regular metal key, so they are cheap, but I think you'll need to get a code for the cutting pattern and that might be dealer only. Not sure.

 

There's also a tool that can be used to get the code for cutting the key when opening the lock. So it might be useful to try to find someone to make a key while unlocking.

 

call the dealer. You can give them the Vin number and they can cut you a new key from their Database. I did this years ago with my Nissan truck.
