Fob works but key will not start car

... remote's circuit board you also need to transfer the immo pill. It's a small glass capsule which is in the key fob.

Now, the electronic functions work perfectly (lock/unlock, trunks) but when I try and start the car all the dash lights come on but the starter does not engage.

Any ideas?

and if I can't find the pill then what? I checked the other fob and I see exactly what you are talking about. But i can't find my old parts. I did the cover exchange a few weeks back.

Thanks for the insight!

UPDATE: I found the old case and there was the pill! Pulled its hold-down out with the pill inside it and dropped these parts into the new case all is well.

THANKS SO MUCH!
