Exclamation Is dealer required by law to give the 4 digit immobilizer pin code?

I live in Indiana. I refuse to pay the dealership $200 for a spare key when I have a locksmith that will do it for $50. Wow, the beauty of a free enterprise system.

Problem: I have a really good feeling that if I stroll into the dealership and ask for the immo pincode that they will tell me they cannot get it. Which is a lie. The code can be extracted via the obd-2 port. This code is needed by the locksmith to program/create new keys.

Question: How can I MAKE the stealership provide me with this pin-code for my vehicle which cost tens of thousands of dollars that I OWN.

Is there a law that requires that the dealership release this information? If so, please post your source.

Thanks!
