(Joking aside, I do not condone confronting them).

My dealer has never used my key for the wheel locks, they have a master key they use. Its been that way for both of my GX's. I believe a few years ago there was an uproar on these forums about one of the master key kits being sold on ebay.

Ok, I guess I'm wrong, but I'm shocked that there would be a master to one of these locks. Oh well, ya learn something new everyday they say. Thanks for the education.
