Cutting keys for modern stuff can be tricky.
When I was still working one of our less sorted staff members lost one of the original keys for a Toyota. A replacement was ordered from the Parts Dept.
Some time later the car wouldn't start, the dealer was called, a mechanic came and had a look, no luck. He sent for a truck and they took the car away. A coupla days later there was an anguished phone call, "Where did you get this key?"
The key looked right, had the right teeth on it, but none of the electrickery it was supposed to have. The car was on contract so it didn't cost us, but it must have cost Toyota considerable.
