I have another cut key with no abilities at all. (except to make more copies with if necessary). My main key was stolen and previous owner can't locate the other




I assume this is the "spare" or "valet" key but it doesn't work in ignition


Thoughts ?
"I do not have another key with a fob on it but I do have two extra cut keys that came with the car".

Are you very aware?

Obviously already searched for? No, you didn't. The answers are there.

You'll find that our members can be terrific resources. Like Maytag suggested... don't bite the hand that feeds you. Don't be a d*ck.

You owe someone an apology. Ya know... to curry continued good favor?

Have a nice day!

The picture literally is a fob, that was my only point, specifically said "I do not have another key with a fob" as you quoted.

Where is the disconnect ?

F-off. I'm sick of wasting time trying help people who know it all. If you didn't like my advice, all you had to do was ignore it.

I'll close my thread and account this weekend. Got better things to do with my time.

Geez is there something in the water around here?
Did Christmas wear off? The bill came in?

One guy is crotchety because the help he got wasn't exactly the help he wanted, and responds accordingly.
Instead of letting it roll off like most adults have learned to do with someone who is either constitutionally or situationally intemperent, the crowd instead unleashes on him to heighten the drama. OK, one pacifist thankfully spoke up to de-escalate.
(But of course, no keyboard warrior worth his internet testicles could leave this alone)
Now one of our oldest and most valuable contributers is possibly quitting the forum because one of the hundreds of forum participants had a moment of disrespect? Would be kinda like me saying I'm not going back to LA because someone was rude to me there once.

Come on guys, try the decaf.
Lets talk about cats, or which oil is best, or where to mount your handgun in the cabin, or the best IMS fix, or just all go have dinner with Mr Landa at the Cheesecake Factory. But enuf of this fractiousness, we have probably all had our moments.
