Went to the dealership and they couldn't get key codes past 92-93 think he said.

So…I go to ACE hardware and explain to a guy how I would like to have these blanks cut but not from the old worn out one… he directed me to another guy who was cutting keys at the time actually and said "if anyone can he can"

I asked if he could simply look at the original and see the key code (think theres 1-5 codes) and cut the blank to match as I would start with a fresh key as my switch isn't worn much and should work.

I got a STARE of being lost so I explained it again and got the reply "when we trace this one (my original) it should work" I explained why I didn't want to do that AGAIN. At this point he replied "so you're saying these blanks have a sensor in them?" I was blown away and just said "cut the keys…"

WOW the guy looked about 40 and cuts keys every day and didn't understand what I was telling him at ALL.
