whats the color of the chip in the end of the key?? whatever color it can be cloned no problem..you are trying at a auto locksmith/key cutter and not a household key cutters/shoe sole place.

Errr ....... no you can't, unless you have 2 keys to start with. It needs to be cloned by an auto locksmith :D
