Will my fob-less 986 keys start the car?

I expect that the hole with the round plug contains the transponder.

Thanks. That's perfect. I couldn't find another post in hours of searching for a valet key picture

Unfortunately, it doesn't turn the ignition. The other key is without a pill for sure, but turns ignition. Could be the ignition wearing out (they seem to get "sticky" when cold hits)

When I get back I'll try turning it on with the valet key attached to the no-pill and see if it fires.

Thanks.
