Happy new year all! Wishing everyone a great year.

I observed my ignition key does not slide into the ignition key cylinder easily. The key looks okay, no signs of wear but not sure if if the cylinder is worn or not. Any ideas pleas.

Also, i have just one key left. Its a PATS II system. If i get another key, how may i programme it?..

Thanks in anticipation.

If you have a PATS II system you will need to go to a dealer for a new key. I've noticed that my key is a little difficult to insert if the key isn't held at just the correct angle. Mine is just the nature of the beast. Is it also difficult to remove?
