What options exist for getting duplicate automobile remotes?

Thanks Clare as you area always spot on correct.

In this case, the key is just a dumb key (I had it checked at Home Depot)
where the remote just unlocks and locks the doors.

It's the two-button remote as shown in this pictu

The FCC ID is exactly the same, but it doesn't have any related P/N:

If the three-button remote works too, that would be a godsend:

The reason is that the trunk won't open from the outside, as the key
doesn't open it and the fob doesn't have a button for it. The trunk only
opens right now from the inside of the cabin.

I think that's how we will go, thanks to your suggestions!
1. Buy a handful of 3-button remotes
2. Program them

Seems simple enough thanks to you!
(I have no experience with these things.)
