[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3654651, member: 26737"] The dealer can probably get you the cut code for the key, but that’s not encoded in the VIN. That would be an incredibly stupid place to put it, considering that the VIN is, by law, plainly visible from the outside of the vehicle. ETA: They probably use the VIN to get the key-cutting code from a dealership or directly from the manufacturer. When I added remote start to my truck, I took the new keys to Don’s Mobil Lock Shop in Norman and had them cut them, duplicating the original key that never gets used. As much as those two keys cost me, I wasn’t about to risk them on the random staffer working the fancy lock cuttin‘ mo-chine down to the Wal-marts. [/QUOTE]
