Default Plain Screwed

I own a 2004 Passat TDI GLS and have found out that I am completely screwed... pretty much because I can't get the SKC code. My immobilizer transponder chip in the key broke and now I am SOL at the moment. I have two keys that can be programmed into the car AND I have the VAG COM software but without the SKC code I can't do anything to make the programming work.

I was wondering if there are any solutions for these problems:

Is there ANY way to get the SKC code from the dealer, or any other entity, in order to be able to use the VAG COM software to program my keys

Is there ANY way to bypass the immobilizer system temporarily so that I can drive the vehicle to the dealer for reprogramming? (the towing is close to $500)

Are there any other solutions/suggestions that might work? I am even thinking of trying all 10,000 combinations of the SKC code just to make this work.

Thanks.
