If you can't wait for an OEM key like what Steve Sandlin offers, most
well-stocked locksmiths should have the aftermarket variety which is what I
use on both my Vanagons.  Taylor X110 is the key number (don't know the
ILCO/Unican # off-hand tho,) and may also be found at most hardware stores
too.  The VW Profile is "N" and is not interchangeable with any other VW
model.
