Immobilizer Deactivated Key?

Immobilizer Deactivated Key?
I have been having odd problems with my 05 TL AT recently. A check engine light came on related to the O2 sensors, but the next morning when I tried to start it up it cranks but didn't start. I noticed the immobilizer light blinking the entire time the key was on the "On" position. This morning the battery is now completely dead (2.8v...). I tried jumping it with a portable battery but it wont fully crank. I'm worried that if I try to jump it with another car it still won't start because of the immobilizer. Is there anyway to fix the immobilzer issue without going to a Honda/Acura dealer? I would prefer not to tow it all the way out there. Can a keysmith come out and do it?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Then if you don't have a 2nd key to try, you have to take it to Honda. Either the key is deactivated or the reader is not functioning at the ignition barrel.

I bought a brand new battery, unfortunately it did not fix the issue. I will try my spare key ( which is being shipped from a different location) and hopefully that will work. Otherwise it seems like the Honda dealership may be the only other option.
