Cool

The keys are numbered, (there are 8 positions available) both physical & electronically.

Sounds like THE dealer DIDN'T ORDER AN EXTRA KEY but ordered a replacement key for an original position.

When the car was new it came with keys 1-3.

The original key isn't ever going to start the car again!
