bit of graphite powder in lock may help
Im pretty sure the key models don't check key code till key turns in lock.

Jiggling the key in the lock didn't do anything and it isn't damaged. The pins can't be that damaged or worn after two years. The keyway and lock are fine. It must be imobilizer since the light was flashing on the dash, it definitely checks before the key turns.
Just checked. Immobilizer works the second the key is inserted.
