I think you may be missing some important facts here and you may be wasting your time and money.
How much was the 'blank' key? If it was $10 to $25, then it is just the fob and blank key.
The blank keys that I have purchased just had the fob case and an uncut key attached to it. These require the insides of your old fob and the old key attached to it or the blank key cut to match your old one.

As purchased they cannot be made to start the car because they lack the small chip inside that has your cars VIN programed in it. They also lack the circuit board that sends a signal to open the doors.
Real keys cost from $150 to $175, depending on you luck. You get them by ordering them, using your VIN number through a dealer or an agent like NeedsWings.
