Bluemach1 is on a distinguished road
Dealership quoted exactly as whizzkid23 suggested. Replace ignition lock cylinder housing and ignition lock tumbler. Charging 2x for the parts than what you can get them for from FCPEuro or ECS Tuning. Quoted 4 hours labor. FYI, labor rate here is $240/hr. I am sure I could have easily done this. The only thing I am not sure about, looking at the tumbler from FCP or ECS, etc, is that the part is noted as "with Key Code". So does this mean a code for cutting a new key or does this mean that the ignition has to be coded to the existing key or DME or what?

The key code means that the barrel is done according to VIN to match the original mechanical key when left the factory.

A nightmare of a quote🤦*♂️ Clavurion is right, it’s just about being able to keep the keys that you already have.

At least you made my day telling how much I saved doing it by myself😂 Thanks for that

Ya, it is tough to take. I never take my stuff to the dealer. This just reaffirms the reason to to keep on wrenching...
