Call and ask a locksmith if he can make a key, if you bring in the door lock and a blank key. They have done it for me.

I had a similar problem. I had to take the whole ignition barrel off the car & send it to an automotive locksmith, as we have no local ones here in the Highlands.
Kept the car running by taping the broken keyfob to the reciever coil & starting with a screwdriver. Don't forget to tape closed the immobiliser micro-switch.
Got a new key blank off eBay, if you put the broken bit in a vice & give the fob a sharp tug it will come apart. Just knock the roll-pin out of the plastic & retain both plastic & rollpin for new key blank.
Doing it this way there is no need to re-program anything - you're using your original fob.
