When I bought my 97 SL1, it came with two keys. The ignition switch had

That costs extra money you know. Maybe they didn't have as much money
as you seem to have.

There are also disadvantages to having the same key for the door and
the ignition. A clever guy might have thought of that.


Today, while doing some other work to the car which involved having one of
the door skins off, I decided to pull both door lock cylinders, the trunk
cylinder and the ignition and get them coded to the key to my 95 SW1. Now
one key works both cars. Locksmith charged $40 to recode the cylinders.
