Finally got a spare Key cut. Picked up an uncut, and unprogrammed, key from Amazon for $21 - . Found a local locksmith to cut the key. Cost - $40. Before driving away, I checked to make sure that it manually unlocks and locks the doors fine, and slides in and out of the ignition ok, and is able to turn to positions 1 and 2 ok. All good. Next step - I will be using my bluetooth Gap IIDTool to program the newly cut key to the vehicle. Going to read the Gap manual, and watch a few youtube videos, and also search here, for advice from those who have already successfully done this. I am assuming the new key does not have a rechargeable battery, so I will assume that it will die at some point, at which time I may take it apart to retrieve the actual key blade and swap into a new fob, although it is difficult, fiddly, and error prone to get inside these fobs easily, without making a complete mess of it. I have put an indicating sticker on my original 'master' key, so that I know which one definitely includes the rechargeable battery.

Added audio controls to the steering wheel and programmed the buttons for volume, track skip, navigation start phone answer/hang up and home. Had to cut the shroud for the the phone buttons which i did as neat as possible, panel is a slightly darker shade of grey so instead of matching either colour i will paint both sides with some left over paint from painting by ARB bar which is coincidentally very close to the silver of my dash.
