Welcome to the forum. In order to program the key you need the $10,000 computer that plugs into the Rover. You may find a specialty shop that has one near you, or just buy the key and pay the dealer to program it. Just remember if they key is bad it will not program and you still pay.

Hmm..? Buying the key and paying the dealer to program might be an easy route, but I just programmed a new remote fob for my 16 LR4 using my GAP IID tool ($428 on sale) and a OEM fob I purchased on eBay ($100). Granted, you have to want the IID tool, otherwise the one time dealer deal miiiight be cheaper?
Some stealers won't even mess with a key that you bring to them.

Will the GAP IID tool program keys? I wasn't aware that they would.

Yes it does. It worked well and was easy once I purchased a new OEM remote key/fob. Initially I tried using a nock-off version purchased off Amazon for $50, it would not program.
I still have to get the backup hard key blank cut by a locksmith, but I haven't bothered with that yet- I have the one original which seems good enough.
