If the keys have the remote unlocking buttons, inside is a small black bit of plastic which is the immobiliser chip as well as the circuit board for the remote locking. You need this in a key so the car will start when the key is in the ignition switch. The chip in the key is specific to your car. To get another chip to start your car will need a key ordering from a Citroen dealer. You could also check with a Citroen dealer and they may be able to provide a new door lock to match your existing keys - I think this would be the overall best solution so you only need to carry 1 key.

 

To programme a key so it works the remote locking after changing the battery, it needs to be put in the ignition switch, turned so the dash lights up and then the lock button on the key held down until the doors lock. This is in the handbook somewhere so you should check the procedure before trying it. Since the new key wil not go in the ignition and will not have the chip, it probably will not programme this way. You could try though with the original key in the ignition and try holding down the lock button on the new key to see if this works. Whatever though, you are going to have to use the old and new keys all the time due to the lack of a chip and the ignition and door locks using different key blades.
