Now in the old days, you would visit the neighborhood locksmith, in my case Bruce at Alert Locksmith, one of the greatest men I have ever met, and for a couple dollars you could get a new key made for the car. No longer. Now the key will set you back about two hundred large.
I am about to jump off into the world of jb weld and magic putty and try to find a way to fill the tiny gap or leave the key inconsolably removed from it's keymates for eternity. Wish us luck!

same thing happened to me a couple years ago, if i understand you right; i just took my key to Joe's Hardware and they ground me out a new one, which i attached to my keyring.
That's dark ages - key has all the integral electronics...
Am I mistaken or aren't there two holes there? One small and one large? Wouldn't a larger ring fit through the big hole?
In any case, you should at least look at this site: ChipKeys.com
What you perceive to be a hole is actually a red alarm button. I felt like an idiot and checked. Whew!
Maybe Lynn Merchant can work some wire magic for you and find a way to hold the key by wrapping it rather than by going through a hole.
