Thanks. vwschlussel@sbcglobal.net Or check out his ad on the Samba. He is THE man for VW locks and keys. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=86513 IIRC, he charged me $32 for a pair of keys made from OG blanks. If you need 2 pairs of keys that might double, but if both of your keys take an "A" blank then he could probably convert the door keys to match the ignition key at about the same cost (just my guess) as making the second pair of keys. FYI, the key code looks like: 48K020, where the letter designates the key profile or blank used, one of the numbers specifies the cut for one side of the key and the other number specifies the cut for the other side. Russ mentioned a key code starting with A, so maybe that's what they looked like if only one side of the key was cut. I would guess that if both of your key codes have an A embedded in them, then he could match your door locks to use the same key as the ignition lock.
