I need to re key the car. Ignition, doors and trunk.
What are my Options, located in So Cal.
Thanks

I think if you get the 4 digit code off the ignition lock cylinder they can re-key from that.
How about the doors? Do they share the same key?
Yes they should match the ignition but am not sure they have a code on them, others may know definitively
The last picture helped. I found the numbers on both door locks.
Revised:Looks like I also need to replace the ignition switch and cylinder with new keys. As I was looking for the number on the cylinder; I realized the old cylinder is damaged, and the back side of the cylinder (electric plug) backing was so brittle it has disintegrated and springs Poped out. So looks like a new assembly is in order.
Can I order these items directly from the dealer? Or does the forum members recommend a vendor?
Thanks
No Tiny screw Chris....I think you need the key to remove the cylinder but not sure. Is there a tiny screw somewhere? You can always rekey door locks to match a new ignition key.

I will give that a try today.No need of the key
Just push thin rod in hole as shown on photo below, pull lock outside and it will come off. On photo it is shown broken ignition, in your's if it is all ok you will only have two parts (ignition housing & key lock).
p.s. you will probably have some mess with assembly your ignition back, because rear part with cables, little springs & little metal balls left inside.

Looks like someone got there before me, and the cylinder possibly turned, as there's nothing to push through the witness hole. And the fact that the witness hole is chipped off.No need of the key
