Is this normal with all max's fellas? when i purchased my car, it didnt have the factory keys, so i went to the dealer with my vin and they made me a set. but the key will only turn (the ignition) when its inserted 1 way. meaning its not double sided. if i put it in ignition and it doesnt turn, i have it in wrong and i need to flip it around. whats the deal?! did the dealer screwup?!

 

yup..........

Hopefully they made you prove it was your first. Try getting another key from them. That would be very annoying.

 

thanks man, so you can put your key in both ways and it will turn right? i figured he screwed up! ba$tard.

 

Mines dual sided as well

 

what the f*ck i thought i was the only one with that problem. the same bullsh*t happens to my ignition?????????? i have no idea why. if i bring my car to the dealership will they fix it for free or no??

 

the ones on my max are dual sided just like all of yours

when i had a duplicate key made at homed depot they screwed up and it only works when i put it in 1 way... oh well, i dont use that one anymore

 

I got 2 OEM keys when I got the car used and they're both double sided. I made 2 spares and those are double sided too. I saw the store people make them and they did one side and then they flipped it over and did the other side.

 

Fellas, the key IS double sided, that isnt the problem... the problem is that even though its double sided, it only turns when inserted one way! and the other side wont turn.

 

Then maybe it wasn't done correctly... Go back and have them make you another one or get your money back

 

I am a locksmith the key you have is not cut correctly you can take it back or go see a locksmith it is a comon problem with 2 sided keys

 

thanks darrick, appreciated your input!
