Lost Keys Update

The has been a several month project. I lost my only key post SAAB bankruptcy. I finally was able to find a source to cut a key from my key code from the dealer. I instaled a used twice from a 9-3 (which required swapping the housing from a 9-5 which is very close but does not fit exactly 100%.) The source where I bough the Key (ClearCom Technologies. Inc) uses JMA keys. Has anyone else used this brand aftermarket keys?
When mating the twice and the key at the dealer I was advised that the transponder chip in the JMA keys will not program. Has anyone else encountered this? I purchased two JMA keys befor learning that the keys transponders do not seem to be compatible. One option is to glue the working transponder near the antenna around the lock cylinder. Option two is to find the older version key with a transponder chip but without the remote button.
I am leaning mor to locating a used saab key to swap in the transponder in the JMA key. I worry about a chip eventually becomming unglued and falling inside the shift console requiring me to remove everthing to fish it out or locating another matched twice unit.
The are of course autions for the remote head keys, but not the old style keys. Any thoughts for locating a used key. I have called several used parts yards, but so far no luck.
Has anyone else found a source for an aftermarket key that is compatible with SAAB?
