Your keys are fine, the issue is the only source for their passwords is your immobilizer. Hopefully it is in good enough shape that they can be downloaded to a PST-2. If you were closer I could do this for you.

Got the job done...

Thanks, guys. I managed to get the immobilizer out, and I also managed to the trunk and extract the ECU, though my electric trunk release wasn't working. Because of some clear directions about removing the rear bumper, etc., I've got everything that I need to send off the electronic components for repair, so I can get my old friend on the road again inside a week, at a reasonable cost. You guys saved me probably $2000-2500.
