Have you checked the key itself and the receiver module near the keyhole? The receiver picks up the signal from the key and sends it to the ECU. I do not think it needs to be programmed to match the key, it just passes any code it receives to the ECU.

Or maybe it is not being immobilized but something else is broken. Look for the CEL to turn on and back off when you turn key on but don't crank, this is a sign that the ECU is booting up and running and I think it will happen even if key is not recognized.
