<p>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.</p>
