Need a 2nd ignition key

I just purchased a '02 T/A and it only came with one set of keys. I've searched but have found no info on getting a second key, other than going to the dealership. Any help would be appreciated.

The keys have the VATs security system, that chip on the key. There's about 15 different resistor values for it. You would be best to go to the dealer to get one. You could bypass VATs then you could use a normal key but you lose your security. Read more here
