Changing the ignition lock and keys

Hi,
Maybe this is asked before, but couldn't find it on the forum.

Since we lost 1 key, and the ignition lock starts to give troubles, I bought a secondhand one, complete with 2 keys, doorlock and ecu. Problem is the ecu is not the same as in my Note (E11 1.6 2010) so I just want to exchange the locks. I know I need to use the transponder from the old key, but where is that located in the key? I have the square key with lock and unlock buttons. I know how to program the central locking function, but not the transponder.
1339

This is the key, to me it looks like the 'coil' bottom left on the print is the transponder, but I could be totally wrong.
Who knows more about this?

Thanks in advance
Greets

Think that's what I'm going to do. Or I use the ecu that came with the lock, it's from an 1.6, but older than mine, and automatic. But is the mileage etc also stored in the ecu?
Will just place the print of the old key in the new key do the trick?
Guess I best pay the Nissan dealer a visit
Thanks for all your advice 👍🏼

Update :

Changed the lock and the inside of the original key, and it works 😊😊🎉
Now all I have to do is pay the local Nissan dealer a visit to program the second key
😊
Thanks for all your advice and tips 👍🏼
