The VIN number only provides the dealership with the key code for the laser-cut key pattern of the key - nothing else. The original poster is still going to have to do this, but this key will only be good for opening doors. When he tries to start the car, although the key will turn, the computer won't find the right transponder and you see the message "Invalid Key" on the SID.
Getting a key cut will let him into his car, but he can't start it. He should go ahead and order two news keys anyway, because he has to do this anyway. Keys usually only take one day from date of order - at least that's how long my local dealership told me it would take to get a key cut, once ordered.
