mpolli,
You sir are correct! We are doomed. In my case the car only had 2 previous owners. The manual had never been opened along with the demo disc explaining the sound system. You would have thought that the keys would have stayed with the car.

To make matters worse, I have the IR key fob with a key but the retract spring is kerfurken and then someone gorilla glued the key halves together!
