You are right around the time when the keys were coded with the immobilizer It could go either way Chances are, however, it will need programmed.
I would have you send a pic of the key, but that's the problem. LOL
To save a headache, you may want to contact a locksmith and have him make the key for you. That way, you won't have to replace the tumbler.
