As I see it and I really do not know the real facts is that what you purchase is a key cut to the profile that fits your tumbler and in the fob is a chip that has data in it that matches the data in your cars security system. All this information is on record for the cars VIN.
The key as purchased will open the doors but will not start the car. The final stage is to match the cars security system and the new chip via the halo ring on the ignition switch.
Rudy could explain it better and I hope he will jump in and add the definitive post on this subject.
The keys are not laser cut as that would take too long, they are machined on a small end mill type of machine as you can see the cutter marks.
If anyone says they are laser cut they are just trying to make it sound high tech and trying to justify the cost, in other words it's BS.
