Go to the dealer with the VIN and maybe they can program a new key.

I got my key made by VIN only.
They just want you to prove you own the car.

Actually my local dealer cut the key wrong and then I tried sewell and they mailed me the key. It worked perfectly.
I am talking about the back up normal key, not the rfid key.
