UncleBob - I agree with you here.
Where people get confused is that any key off ebay or similar sources can easily be programmed to open the doors, etc. but it cannot be programmed to start the engine. Aside that the physical cutting of the key will be wrong
Been there, done that
I'm also suprised that an earlier post refer to the dealer changing the battery. I find this hard to believe unless they have nade some changes to the key as I know from experience the key casing cannot be opened short of sawing it up and rebonding and secondly the battery is spot welded to its contact points.
