That’s an issue for 20 year old mechanical key + immobilizer chipped keys. It’s not that you lost the key, it’s just finally in need of replacement. Of course; you could shuck the key from the old one and place it in the new one.
Protip everyone with any mechanical keys: take a picture of your keys!!!!!
