If as someone thinks it is a barrel with matching key number up to 1 month IS normal. if the car can be locked and unlocked using the remote, surely not a problem, But my personal opinion is that 8 weeks and counting is not good, these particular barrels are made in germany if my memory serves me well. when i wanted a new programmed key which had to come to my dealer from germany it was 10 days.
While there is a delay it is no worse than most others, (Try Chevrolet!)
Nobody stocks anything at a dealers anymore other than service parts and all manufacturers stock only the bare minimum projected (someone takes a wild guess and halves it)
Inventorycosts money, as the bean counters come before customer service.
Hopefully the Op will remember this issue at next purchase.
