    Found a key in car at Pick n Pull.

    Car is an E36. I already got the light working thanks to the the donors guts. Now seeing this key has a chip. What could I pull from the car along with the ignition?

    What is your goal here? To make that key work properly in your car you would need all the tumblers and the EWS module coded to your car. This would make all your current keys invalid.

    Sorry to not clarify. I'm not trying to use this for my car. I just wanna know how I could profit from things in the car associated with the key

    I don't imagine you could. Profiting at all from reselling junkyard parts is usually a low margin, high risk venture. Not usually worth it. If you do want to sell it you'd have to sell all lock tumblers complete with EWS module for it to be worth anything and even then it won't be worth much... a single key that has already been coded has virtually no worth at all on it's own.
