To be honest I find it hard to believe.
I am assuming you transferred the little black chip from the old case to the ebay case, right ?
If so, then getting the blank key in the old case cut is a waste of time as it will be good only for manually unlocking the doors and glove box.
IT WILL NOT START THE CAR WITHOUT THE TRANSPONDER CHIP !!!
