Hello,

Unfortunately the only way to fix this problem is to have a chipped ignition key made for your vehicle at either the dealership or a locksmith. These sare the only two options here and it is done intentionally to keep thieves from being able to make keys and steal cars. Please keep us informed as to how things progress.

Thanks,
Alex
