Hey guys! This isn't a big deal, but since it's the first one I came accross, I think you'll like to see it.

A while ago I got a Smart ignition from a friend. Yesterday I got a key made for it and cleaned it a little (not perfect, but good enough )



Here it is with the plug removed:


This lock, not being attached to anything, has a loose plug (no pun intended ), as it comes out just by turning it upside down.
On the second image you see a little lever, it's the piece that holds the plug in place when installed in a car, but still let's it rotate if not fully pressed (I believe that has to do with how the lock interacts with the housing itself, but not sure).

Anyway, it's a 7wafer (4top/3down) lock with serrated wafer AND countermilled plug





Not the easiest to pick, but pickable, the feedback isn't very clear on this one
Hope you guys enjoy it!

neat! key looks pretty good.

It is in pretty good condition as well! Cool stuff FG

Thans guys!


Well this is a take out from a wrecked car. A friend of mine works at a mechanic's shop that deals almost exclusively with smarts. Some times he can find take outs that his boss throws away!

Wow.... interesting guts. Serrated wafers? Counter-milling? Very cool.

Kind of a fun pick I'd imagine? Bet ya weren't expecting those features. lol

Oh I wasn't!
After a good while of unsuccessfull picking I gutted it and looked at the wafers. Then I looked at the plug

Then I picked it
But still gives me a hard time. For some reason the feedback isn't as reliable as serrated pins
