it could well be. as far as i could tell, there was no chip inside either
of the keys. it was just a block of plastic on the end of the key itself.
but both keys were different. there was one to start the car and, for some
reason, a separate key to un/lock the boot! i couldn't say for definiate if
it had an immobiliser or not. i'm only assuming not since it had no other
security features, or fancy electronics of any description.
