Help Lost Keys Options

[xHiKO]

Hey guys i feel like a moron. it wasnt too long ago that i bought my 6th gen -_-.... it only came with one key and i parked it for winter and i misplaced my key. I went to the dealership to see if they could do anything about it. they said they need the key code from the passenger side door lock.

can i get this myself or is it some special thing that only the dealership can get. basically im asking whether or not i am able to take off the paneling on the door and obtain this "key code" by like writing it down or is it some sort of electronic thing that has to be read by some computer the dealership has?

ok i have taken the panel out of my passenger side door and i see 2 codes on the inside door handle as product ID's XXXXX-XXXXX

are these the codes that i need to get my new keys cut...

for those of you who are just saying that i should take my VIN and registration in i already have done that. The dealership punched them into the computer and they told me that since my car is old the codes are no longer in the database.
