So the solution apparently is to find the immobilser itself (not the immobiliser amplifier) and to reprogram it. It should be behind the dashboard in the middle like this picture shows that I found the another post but he didn’t find it so far... any ideas where and how to find this immobiliser?

Take it to a dealer. There is nothing you can do to reprogram it.
And there is no way they took the chip out and hid it anyplace and put a different cover on it. Give us a pic of the inside of the key.
