Ugly computer displays "No Key"
With dead fob in hand tried ignition: nothing
Stuck my finger in fobgina while pressing ignition and holding the fob NEAR the fobgina :nothing

Interestingly, when I stuck my finger in the fobgina the computer displayed the "Clutch" screen but that was as far as it went.

I would bet that there is some sort of RFID in the fob.
