[Vwdiesel] A4 keys

The locksmiths I've talked to all pointed me back to the dealer, but they may just not know.  

I was a little suspicious of the bit of the immobilizer chip being a one-write.  

I did have the thought that I could bust up the one key I have (already there, honestly), pull the chip, tape it to the lock cylinder inside the housing, and just party on with a cheap, dumb key.  eBay even lists just the chip.

I had a vague memory, dug around in the car, and found two blades I'd had cut years and years ago.  I'll stick one in this spare remote I have and see what I can make happen in VAG-COM.  There has to be some way to game the system :)  I can't be smarter and better looking, so I'll shoot for smarter and more devious.
