Getting around the immobiliser

[S6OOH]

We have recently acquired an ebay special Fiat Punto for my daughter to drive and it came with one key. It seems that as a 2001 car with an immobiliser chip inside it, Fiat have to supply the key and they want c£250 for a new one!

Given this, is it possoble for an auto electrician to fit a bypass switch somewhere within the car such that I can have a simple key cut to operate the lock and flick a switch to bypass the immobiliser?

many thanks

Great suggestions folks thank you - in answer to an earlier point, various key cutting companies checked and they cannot encode a key with this encryption, manufacturer only.

However, liked the suggestion of "fitting" the key with the transponder nr the ignition barrel so new key sorted this morning for £8.99, will give it a go and if it works will get another cut.

Cheers folks
