The dealership will give you an activation code.

It's no different than say....keys

Exactly. Both require you to show proof of ownership by registering your purchase.

Huh, that's not been my experience.

Next time you might try a different dealer, or a locksmith.

I am a licensed locksmith and consult on auto theft. If you have dealt with a dealership that provided unlock codes without proper paperwork feel free to shoot me an email (in my profile) and I will get it escalated up to the manufacturer.
