But the dealer doesn’t have a stock of duplicate keys. That would be even worse! They might be able to lookup the key codes from the manufacturer to be able to either (a) fabricate a physical key and/or (b) program a new key fob. This would make more sense because then, at least, the manufacturer would have a record of who requested the information. And if a car was stolen, they’d know who to go back to. Also, the manufacturer would know of a particular dealer was making too many requests that something could be fishy.
