A Locksmith shop, the dealership, or Ebay would be your best sources.
Locksmiths have transponder detectors that read if a transponder is active within a key. The device we have is called "TD3AII Transponder Detector" by Ilco.
The dealership can generally program a new transponder key based on the VIN. Most good locksmiths can reproduce the key, but would need the original to do so.
A Toyota Matrix transponder key is factory programed. At times this programing can fail. It is a quick process for the dealership to reprogram the key. A lost key and transponder will cost approximately $100 to replace depending on model.
the transponder is in the head of the key ther are about 5-7 parts that are conected on the car that control the key and the reading / from a loccksmith

In the key
Normally it would only cause a problem if the transponder key had severe damage or trying to start the car without the transponder. If the key looks ok and there's no damage to the sstem then it's probably not the transponder system causing the problem. The dealership could figure this out.
The Daewoo had NO transponder on any of their vehicles from 1999-2002. Incorrect. The Daewoo Leganza had a transponder option in 2001+, as did the Lanos. The Nubria had a transponder option in 2000+.

You could try calling Lockman UK (www.lockmanuk.com) in Birmingham. If you can remove the ignition barrel and give them the details of your car they can make a key. You will also need to have the transponder coded for your immobiliser. There is a transponder in the key which also needs to be coded. This can be done by Lockman UK as well so that should get you back on the road.
