had same with my Pug just 1 key

took it to Mr Minit, they dunked it in a machine, I assume to read the chip? and then selected blanks from the rack and cut them for me.

I had this prob only i had a key cut for the doors with a blank chip in it ages ago. i cut the chip out of the worn key and put it in the newer one, works fine. be careful though coz the chip is encased in glass.
