Thats expensive even for a transponder key. It doesnt really help you but we do them for £25.

Shop around.

Presumably you need to have the new chip programmed to the immobiliser too? Is this a replacement or a spare key? One thing you can do is get the key cut and take the chip out the current key and put it in the new one if it's a replacement.

if you cant swap the transponder over it sometimes works if you tape the old key somewhere near the ignition barrel.
