That's funny.  When I showed my car for the first time in Staunton, I 
found out the same thing.  I didn't have a trunk key, either.  According 
to Curt, the ignition key should open the trunk, and the console key 
should open the doors.  Well, the ignition key is a lot different.  Just 
2 days ago, I pulled the door handles and the trunk lock and took them 
to my friendly local locksmith who re keyed them to the console key.  
$30 apiece.  He even had a chart that showed what the keys for the Tiger 
look like, and a code for him to order replacements.
