I recently broke my one and only key in half(not in ignition but in my pocket). I went to the dealership with my VIN and they couldnt find that VIN in the system to make a new key because they said some 90 celicas are not in the system. Well they told me to go and get the number that is on the passenger door cylinder. Well I took the plastic door panel off and taped away the plastic and I can see in the hole where the cylinder is but I cant get to it to see the number on it. I cant even tell where the number is. Do I have to somehow get to it another way? Its kind of urgent so thank you in advance.

In the picture: the cylinder is up to the right in the hole.
