lost a key fob

lost one of the key fobs for my 2017. i want to replace it but its not an option on the dealers site and the quoted price is 325. I was looking around and it seems like you can purchase and aftermarket one or an OEM one on the secondary market and reprogram it yourself. Is there advice for this if I want to save a few bucks? Thank you

I purchased this spare key fob from https://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-UNLOCKE...AAAOSwUKxYmfzk a couple of years ago and had the dealer program it for me. It cannot be programmed by the user, only a dealer or a locksmith with the proper device. Good luck.

FYI, call multiple dealers for the programming cost, it sometime varies. Also find out if the cost is the same for two as it is for one. If so, buy two and have both programmed, may save some headache in the future.
