    Have a similar situation with my own one is missing a transponder chip id say yours is similar ,theres no real fix for this other then a new key , the other key that starts the car the batterys probably shot and just needs replacing

    But you could try reprogramming it first

    The key that opens the car won't start it at first but if I start the car with the other key, turn It off and straight away and put the one that only opens back in it will start it. madness ha
