replacement key options

My son lost the extra key to our 9-5 wagon, so I am casting about for the most cost-effective way to replace it. I can buy the key blank pre-cut to my car from eeuro for a very reasonable $37. The all-in-one blank does not include the remote which is another $117. Does anyone know if the transponder chip is part of the key blank or the remote? We don't need the remote but would like to get the transponder (which I would need to bring to my favorite dealer for programming)
Alternatively, I could buy two new pre-cut keys and cut off the key part of the one original key and just hide the severed key head with the transponder in the car (probably permanently installed under the console somewhere so that it is within range of the ignition key antenna).
By the way, the dealer now wants $250 just for the key blank. What a deal!
