everyone tried to be Seinfeld rather than just answering a simple question. Lots of insecurity round here.

Cost me $150 at a dealer for fob and key. The dealer will have to order the key after they verify ownership of your VIN. They will check registration or title and driver's license before ordering.

My fob came it. I have an appointment Tuesday to have it programmed. The dealer says it will take about an hour.

You do know you can program the FOB yourself in under a minute, yes?

(Page 2-25 from the Owner's Manual)

Programming Transmitters to the Vehicle
Only RKE transmitters programmed
to this vehicle will work. If a
transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased and
programmed through your dealer.
The vehicle can be reprogrammed
so that lost or stolen transmitters no
longer work. Each vehicle can have
up to eight transmitters programmed
to it.

Programming with a Recognized
Transmitter

A new transmitter can be
programmed to the vehicle when
there is one recognized transmitter.

1. The vehicle must be off and both
the recognized and new
transmitters must be with you.

2. Remove key base from
recognized RKE transmitter.

3. Place the recognized transmitter
in the cupholder.

4. Insert the vehicle key into the
key cylinder above the license
plate.

5. Open the hatch/trunk.

6. Turn the key five times within
ten seconds.

7. The DIC displays READY FOR
REMOTE # 3 or 4, up to 8.

8. Place the new transmitter in the
steering column transmitter
pocket with the buttons facing up
and the base toward the opening
facing the passenger side.

9. Press the ENGINE START/
STOP button.

10. The DIC displays READY FOR
REMOTE # 4 or 5, up to 8.
11. Press K on each newly
programmed transmitter to
complete the process
.
12. To program additional
transmitters, repeat Steps 8-11.
Press and hold the ENGINE
START/STOP button for
12 seconds if programming is
complete.

Return the key base back into
the RKE transmitter.
Programming
I've done this myself and it is super easy and fast

You can configure the car to the fob yourself if you want. Takes about 10 minutes.

Are you asking for an additional FOB or an additional key? I bet a duplicate of the key can be made at a hardware store for a couple dollars....

Unless the HW store can deal with laser-cut keys, nope
