It can be safely flat bedded; they will put wheel dollies under each wheel to allow it to roll up onto the flat bed to get it to the dealer you choose.
You might be able to find a cheaper key somewhere, but the car cannot be coded to accept it without the Ipass codes that come from the dealer and the PIWIS diagnostic tool to do the coding. If you want to get this done, just bite the bullet and pay the dealer's price.

A couple years ago, after receiving oxygen and recovering from getting the price of a new remote key at my local dealer!!
I purchased 2 spare basic keys that have just the light and no locking buttons.
Part # 996-637-041-01 and #996-583-531-00 Only $138.50 for the pair.
The dealer programed them for an additional $88.50
I find inserting the key and turning the lock is not that difficult. I do have to open the door to release the frunk and trunk.

A remote key also activates the security and alarm system

Maybe it varies with the model year, but my basic keys activate and deactivate the alarm system when I lock or unlock the door.

Yes, they do everything the remote key does just no buttons.
Manually lock / unlock the door, set and shut off the alarm, Raise and lower windows, start and stop the engine.

Maybe the ECU Doctor could help. Send them your ecu and immobilizer?
Just a thought, maybe a reach.

not exactly, it doesn't remote lock/unlock the doors or open the trunk or frunk
