The key code is stamped on each handle. What I usually do is to remove the driver door handle, a single phillips screw behind the rubber door seal. There is a small 4 digit number stamped on it. You may have to wipe it down with a rag and use a magnifying glass to be certain of the numbers. I am lucky to have a good old time locksmith shop in my town but you can do it by mail with our List Locksmith. http://www.steveslockshop.com/ Mark Tyler Hardison wrote: > On Monday, July 20, 2015, vw_van_fan_Mark <madvws@cox.net> wrote: > >> Yes, get new keys cut from the lock code.
