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!

Alan, not sure how your locks look, but mine are just a simple multiple star look...does not look to be anything custom about it. I will look for key code here in a minute just to make sure.

Alan, here is a shot of my locking nut and the lock that came stock on the car. Are these what you are talking about?

Inside the top on the lock...there is stamped "ABC" and "4" but that is all I can see.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Are these only on the GLX or does the GLS also have wheel locks? Thanks.

Actually, GLS with alloys (luxury package) comes standard with wheel locks.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I believe Luxury package is now standard on GLS models, and optional for the new GL that is coming out.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>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 = 003 ... 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.

That is great information, thanks...something to keep in a folder.

It should be with your tool kit, the little black package that has the lug wrench and other stuff. There is a little velcro pocket that has it secured in the kit. If it is not there, then it was either lost or never there originally. But I thought the took kits come complete from the factory with the car, not part of the dealer prep...could be wrong on that though.
