Hi Folks,

Bear with me - I'm new here. ;-)

I just picked up an 1993 850 GLT. The dealer I bought the car from gave me only one key, which opens everything - door locks, trunk, fits ignition, glove box.

The car also came with what appears to be an aftermarket remote ignition/lock system. Everything works great.

Question: What is the least expensive way to get a duplicate made of this key? Is there something special about this key that a regular locksmith can't make me a copy? It doesn't appear to have any chip or electronics in it and it looks old, like original. The manual says something about "As an added theft measure, new keys have been developed which may take long to copy" Are they talking about my key or...?

Thanks in advance!

Len

Don't know about the 93, but my sons 96 has a key that the local locksmiths cannot make a duplicate of. I guess I'm going to have to go to the dealer to get another key. That means $$$ out of my pocket.
