Took it apart and got it cut at the locksmith for about $20. Swapped over the immobiliser bits as per the included intructions and hey presto!

Battery is heaps easy to replace. Remove screw and crack open with finger nails.. inside module has battery number on it, jump on fleabay get 5 for 10 bucks. Crack open inside module and replace.. just a normal button battery.. could even change it the same time as your smoke alarm batteries (in your house) if you are concerned. . Fob does not require reprogramming

Bugger, I had a plan to get a key cut as an emergency key without the electrics so it wouldn't get damaged and then tie it under the vehicle somewhere as a "just in case". So just to clarify, this wouldn't work with the immobiliser? So what happens if you are outback and the batteries fail on your key?
I have a non elec key cut. Use it trips to the beach (fraser). Lock the real keys in the glovebox, lock the car. Wack the blank key in my pocket and go swimming. Dont need to worry bout getting the blank key wet and dont need to worry about someone thinking to check the toe of my shoes then flogging the car! Cant start the car with it but dont need to in this situation.
