    Unless you get lucky and find an automotive locksmith that can do an immobilizer seed reset, you are looking at a dealer visit. Cost expectation is $300 at the absolute barest minimum, which includes a seed reset and a new key. More than likely you will be quoted $400-$500 for 1 key, and $250 for each additional. An automotive locksmith is unlikely to be significantly cheaper, i.e., this is not something that can be fixed for $50. But, you do not need to spend $1500+, as often happens when a service advisor quotes for a new immobilizer ECU, which is not necessary.
