Yeah. And then whoever finds the key (if the blade only is lost) can unlock and drive away.
Nah. Maybe car theft isn't an issue in your part of the world. For me the D2 is one of the most secure cars around. No button. No key. No access or start. Even with the windows down the inside button won't unlock and neither will anything else.
The locksmith can cut the key, some machines work directly off a web link though and you cannot enter the code from LR. So you cough up over $100- for it (voice of experience) and the machine cuts automatically to the received code thats access through LR database by the locksmith. They also don't have blade keys so you'll end up with a std key type.
Recoding EKA's, reprogramming FOB's etc is easy. There's a thread of people with diagnostic devices and locations so you can contact them and arrange something in your part of the world.
Everything that LR have said is just scaremongering and trying to justify existence and make $$$.
