You could get them from a dealer (probably kind of expensive) or from e-bay. Just make sure you get the right one (I think one from a '97-00 would work with your car and they come with either a "1" or "2" embossed on the back of the fob. Get whichever one you do not have). For the key, you need to know the resistance of the pellet embedded in the key before you order one - again either from a dealer, e-bay or perhaps even a locksmith.

Just a side note 97-00 do not have the #1 and 2, that is later years.
make sure you get the ones for the passive locking... (It has the on off switch)
