there is a range, of course being on key ring is close enough. Spyder key has a chip in it too, they are good for 4-5'
It's already cramped there (satnav bracket), GF is already bit struggling to get the key fully in and unlock the steering block...why don't you just cut off the key end, then keep the HISS part encased in the black plastic with new key on same ring?
In Australia we just go to a locksmith and they can read the transponder chip and clone it to a blank chip.
Once the chip is cloned the locksmith selects the correct key blank, cuts it to duplicate the original key and then inserts the chip into a special pocket in the key head.

Thanks for your reply. Surprisingly I have found a local Locksmith here in Tamworth where I reside. He seems confident in being able to make copy.Charlie are you in Australia, if so what state and suburb?
I believe Mark Drinnan at Richmond Locksmiths in NSW can do it and I have previously used. Locksmith at Penrith South but I do not recall their name and it was some years ago.
Most locksmiths are now able to offer this service as the security chips are in most vehicle keys.
