I think those cars have the chip inside the plastic part of the key, so as to communicate with the ecu.

As such, the only place to get one is a Scoob dealer, and they are around £80 including re-programming.

You may be able to get a blank and have it cut to your car, then buy an old key off e-bay etc, dig the chip out, put it in your "new" key and have that reprogrammed by the dealer. It works out cheaper, apparently.
