lost keys ????

got a quik and simple ques. my kids lost the keys to my 89rs. it already has VATS bypassed. is there a way to get a dealership to cut a key based on the VIN#? or will any thirdgen key work since VATS is bypassed? or is my only option is to get a new ign.switch from autozone and replace the one in the steering wheel? please help!!!! can't do anything w/o a key.

Re: lost keys ????

If VATs is bypassed, the key just needs to physically match the tumbler cylinder assembly. Key cylinder assemblies may or may not vary depending on airbag, VATS etc., so buy one that matches the column / car.
