Thanks!

If you swap out the ID chip (and key blade) from your old key into the new one, there should be no need to get it reprogrammed -- when you open up the key, it will look like a small "seed" that you can just move -- it's a passive transponder, so isn't attached to the power source.

See the Pelican write up on how to perform a Key-ectomy.
