Any key being sold on eBay, forums, etc. won’t be able to be used for your vehicle don’t waste your money.
You’ll have to suck it up and head over to the dealership to get a replacement key cut and programmed.

The only way to save is to call around to other dealerships and see who has the lowest price and try to get a price match with your closest dealer. They also typically include programming which is just putting the key in the dash and turning it and maybe deleting the old key from the system. Try going to parts instead of service and decline the programming which is another hour charge. You could also decline getting the metal key which might lower you cost a little as that used to be about $75 if you just wanted the metal key. Keys sold on ebay can't be reprogrammed. The point of those is basically if you want to change the guts of a key and swap the internals. It's more involved for a keyless go key than a regular key.

New fobs are coded to the vin and are dealer-only. Some dealers actually require you to bring it in so they can physically see the vin and then order the fob. Wait a week or three and come back to a new working fob, pay and leave.
There should be an easier way, there isn't.
