    Is that like one of those things where they mail you a “key” and say that if your key starts the car you can have it? How does that box work?

      The box is super simple, it’s just an LED that illuminates a piece of plastic with the number on it. I got one of these a few years ago and everyone else I knew that got one had the exact same number. It’s a scam to get dumb people to come down to the dealership.
