Quick key blank question
So... Can I buy a New lighted head key blank on ebay and bring it to the dealer to have them cut it? Or do they need to order the key, I think it is a lazer cut? For a 1994 325IS. I think I have the key blank serial number (a little metal tag)
Thanks.

There are some locksmiths around here that have blanks and can cut them...

they are very expensive cuts around here. I got banged $35 per key to cut at the local locksmith. I can only imagine what the dealer will charge.

Bummer. It seems that the P.O. did not give me the lighted key head. Can I just bring in the key I have, Plus a uncut blank and have them do it? Or do I need to have the key Serial Number and order????

Sure, I took the only key the PO gave me and the locksmith copied off that. No Serial # or reg. Just make sure the new keys all work on the car before you leave the dealer or locksmith. At $35 a pop i was gonna make sure they worked in every keyhole properly.
