That's brilliant! We've got a couple old keys that have the right
mechanical key part, but aren't programmed to the immobilizer. But, next
time we lose a few more keys, we will have to get the immobilizer
reprogrammed, so probably don't want to cut up the keys. (They cost a
fortune, too!)

You might try a local key shop to see if they can match the profile.
