I just realized that the key for the factory GLX wheel lock nuts mysteriously disappeared from inside my car. I called the dealership to see if they could order another key. They said they need a code that's either printed inside my owner's manual or one that's stamped on the wheel nuts (took them a week to figure that one out) -- I couldn't find anything in the owner's manual and I couldn't see anything stamped on the lock nuts.

I'll be taking it to the dealership first thing in the morning so that they could find out the code to order it. Does anyone know another way of finding the key code?
Thanks!

Count the number of splines, and you can order what you need. (ref: TSB 44-00-01)
OEM Wheel Lock P/N 8D0 601 139F plus three digit code

10 splines = 000, 11 splines = 001, 13 splines = 002 ... 17 = 006, 19=007...21 splines = 009

12 and 18 splines not used for obvious reasons.

I would be very surprised if anyone had this information recorded by the dealer.

edit - changed 13 spline code from 003 to 002
