Since I was able to successfully break into my Beetle<\/a> earlier after losing my only key, now I have to swap the old ignition switch and door handle with ones that I have keys for. Once I get a new key made, I will be able to swap the matching set back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned in the Replacing the Ignition Switch<\/a> post last year, the new switch I purchased doesn’t allow the key to be removed when it is fully clipped into place. It’s therefore really easy (too easy, actually) to remove. It only took the tip of a pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Back in the house, I inventoried all of my key related parts to find the old ignition switch and door handle with mismatched keys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Using the same pick in the appropriate spot, I was able to release the old ignition tumbler from the switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And it slotted right back into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since I have already changed door handles so many times, I didn’t bother taking pictures of the process, but here that is installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And for my own future reference (or for a talented thief to take this thing off my hands) here are the details from the ignition cylinder with key code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had a brainstorm shortly after this and called AAA to clarify if getting a replacement key cut was a covered service. They confirmed that they would cover up to $150, so great! They transferred me over to Roadside Assistance, who scheduled the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spoiler alert, twelve hours later, AAA called me back (after midnight) to apologize that no one ever called or came and rescheduled for the next day. Spoiler alert #2, they called back thirteen hours later and cancelled the service because “You’re in Asheville and the locksmith is in Fletcher.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s now my problem to go have a key cut and turn in the receipt to AAA for reimbursement. Excellent service, as expected these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
