Is there something different about keys for 2007?

I have a 2007 beetle and just want to cut a new set of keys since it only came with 1 when we bought it used.

I see online that ACE hardware (partnering with Duracell) would cut and program them, but only up to 2005. The key part number is the same, but even when the ACE rep called Duracell he was told that they would not support the 2007 with their key.

Is there a reason for that?

I think mid-2005 they changed the immobilizer across VW which requires dealer programming (or can be done with VCDS I believe)
