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.Â
$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.
