They told me the new transponder reads the key (same way as the old did) and transfers the data to the car electronics, therefore no new programming as the immobilizing is not in the transponder ring or key but in the car system.
Therefore dismantling the ring does not help against immobilizing.
So I was told. If it is true, I don't know
