Update: Spare doesn't always work
Lost my keys again a few weeks ago (at home, fortunately). I could not get the spare key to work (described above: just a sidewinder blade with an electrical ring terminal for a head). It just would not turn in the lock. Eventually I found my keys. Once I opened the door with the FOB, suddenly the spare worked again. The spare worked a couple of times away from home when I locked my keys in the car, then didn't work, then did work. I have no explanation for this, but it's a cautionary tale.
