broken master key

a few days ago I snapped my master key clean off. seeing how they're a couple hundred bucks to replace, I was wondering if anybody had this issue before.
I have a spare key with the led light and wondered if it's possible to swap the metal part into the master.
I also considered gluing it back together but worried it may break off in the ignition. Then I'd have to enter the code in the computer every time I turned it off to avoid someone just using a screwdriver to drive off with it.
Any suggestions until I save up the extra money to get it replaced?
