Ok I've search for the past 15 minutes and I just wanna make sure I have this straight.

I have 1 key, it's the ILCO key, and very badly worn. I went to the Dealership and he said the VIN # for my 95 isn't in the database. I don't have the sticker in my glovebox nor do I have the original manual.

So I have the key, and that's it. The dealer tried to copy the damage key and guess at it, but couldn't get it.

So what am I to do?

The ILCO key as DA##-P on it, but everyone else says the keycode is X-#### format.

My ILCO opens the trunk also, is it supposed to?

Is my only hope to have a locksmith figure it out?

I have a ILCO key as well and mine says DA31-P as well. I think this is just for the shape and length of the key and not for any specific keys....

Well i cant even stick a key in the trunk because the prebious owner decided to plug the key cylinder so people cant open his trunk...

If your VINs not in their database and you have no number in your glovebox... then i guess locksmith is your only option

yea if you're vin is in the database. That's all you need. You don't even need to bring a blank.
