I have seen a few blanks on ebay, but I really wouldn't trust them.
You might have to go to the dealer.

Not sure if it will work or not but take the key that works and put it close to the ignition under the plastic cover around the ignition switch.
Some alarm shops do that when they install keyless entry. They wire tie it to the ignition just behind the cover.
