Oops,

        I replied before seeing this message.

So helpful to have this info on the list.

I’m still loving my fancy keys Steve made me from the code. 

And nice to know we can keep the van key locks working as intended.

Therefore the new lock cannot be keyed into the Vanagon system.  Your lock is certainly serviceable; we work on those all the time.  As a side note, most of the Vanagons of your vintage use a different lock than the one shown.  There is a great possibility that lock will not fit your vehicle.
