DII spare ignition key question

The guy I bought my discovery from said he had a spare key but left it at home and would mail it to me. Well it''''s been several months now and I doubt he''''s going to send it. Would it be possible to get another key cut or do I need one from the dealership with a chip? ''''99 DII.

Are you talking about the Rover key that looks like a lug nut? Do you also have them on your wheels?

I got my spare key cut at my local ACE hardware store for a couple of bucks....

sorry, should of specified ignition key.

bearcatfans, and the key works fine?

I had a key cut (without the alarm remote) to keep in my wetsuit and it works fine, just check before you drive away from the store that it lock/unlocks.

If you want a second key, buy from above link, if you just need a spare, go cheap brass. such as ilco.

Go plastic head if its used frequent. had a ilco key break in two, common key, cheap made. plastic head for frequent use, brass for emergency key

I think NiteTrain is looking for one with remote??

nah, I just need a cheap spare to keep as a back-up in case I lose my main key with remote.

Way to plan ahead. Good for you.

i acutally have 4 keys lol, two main, two spare.  i always keep my cheap brass in my wallet under license

The Infiniti that I used to have had a "credit card key", it was a door only thin key that "poped" in and out of a credit card sized holder. It fit perfectly in your wallet''s credit card slot and only worked the doors and trunk.
