I believe you can get that from keys-in-the-post also. Either way, you probably need to have the car programmed for another key.

Welcome to tribe.
That will not work. The key and transponder came with a very long IPAS code tag, which is the data that has to be entered into the system for the car to recognize the key. No IPAS code, no programing. There is no known way to recover that IPAS code from the transponder itself. If you don't have the original tag, you are out of luck.

Time for new keys and dealer programing, bring a large bag of cash......
