If the key is already programmed to the car it can be removed and re-added, the chip is only programmable to one car.
If you were to buy a new key when it comes to programming it the following happens.
1. All keys are deleted
2. New key get's programmed
3. Old keys get re-programmed back into the car.
With older keys vauxhall did for the old veccy's etc you could buy a new virgin chip slot it in the donor key and program it no problems, with the new keys the chip is soldered to the board.
