Welcome.
Dealers really gets you on a key. Ask him about a "spare key". Basically, the blade is the same, but the head (or cap) does not a remote feature.... just a little LED light.

Unfortunately, the dealers have the monopoly on keys. The car needs to be programmed to accept the keys (the little pill / RFID in the key cap)... thats why it is a dealer item.
