So I knew the auto industry was having trouble with microchip supplies. When I got the new truck home and looked in the package of manuals etc which also contained the "second" key here his what I found: An access key. Not the programmed entry/engine start key. Just a cut key to access the door locks and steering column lock. But will not operate any systems and will not start the engine. A note was attached to it from the manufacturer explaining that a shortage of electronic parts from the supplier left them unable to supply me a second key. And they will resolve this with me "later".

So....if the key fails or I loose it I am screwed. Truck will have to be towed to a dealer.

Has anyone heard of this before?

Is there a workaround?

Any source for a programmable key?

Any advice?
