HELP! Lost all 3 of my keys
I have an 08 tc and an 05. The 05 has been sitting for about 9 months now apart waiting for me to pull the motor and drop a stock one in. Anyway I ended up losing all three 3 keys (dont know how).
I need to know how to break in the 05 so i can see if the keys are in there (dont have money for locksmith right now)
I also would like to know what it would cost to buy a new key from the dealer. Thanks!

You can probably open it with a slim jim. I know the police department will normally do it free of charge, but thats only if you lock your keys inside of your car in a public place or maybe on the street. Call the police station and see if they will do it. its worth a shot.

I honestly dont know about the slim jim, I just said it because that was really the only other possible way besides a lock smith. Maybe if you give the dealer the VIN they can get you a new key to open it. But that will cost you $$$.

man..this summer we me and my gf took my family's suv upto the mountains only to find out that it had a locking gas cap that i had forgot to get the key too..so we were running out of gas with no way to refill...called AAA and they denied us saying taht they will help with anything but locksmithing....must have different policies for different chapters..
and i've heard slimjims will not work with cars with power windows/locks or you may end up doing more damage then good...

hey duck dodgers, u made a spare for the tc?.. i tried to make a flat "wallet" key, and the cut was the exact same as the original but it would not unlock my doors, i assumed b/c it didnt have the rfid tag or w/e they have in them now....
howd you get it to work?..i used to have a wallet key for my old car and i loved it...i have to keep the valet key stashed on my car now and thats not too smart..

I went down to the dealer today and they cut me a new key for free! It's not the remote but got me in the car and should hold me over till I get the stock motor back in it (don't ask). Thought it was cool for them to cut one for free and I gots to give them props.
Thanks for thehelp guys.
