The B5 did not have immobilizer. The B6 has immobilizer III
It's impossible to start the car without one of the coded keys.
The only way your car will be stolen is if they jack you, or they have a tow truck.

There was long dicussion before about being able to start with plastic key. I remember sales man telling about having something special in the key that allow us to start.
Of course he could have been bullshipping.

Plastic key has the coded chip in it too.
If the key does not have that chip, and the chip is not coded into the ECU the car will not start.
There is no magic key.

No that's bull. It will probably eventually wear out since it's plastic. Maybe break in ignition
I wouldn't use the plastic key on a regular basis.

Our car can fly too!
If that's true. I've never heard about it. I can't imagine you could disable the immobilizer without the special generated SKC code.
