Consult the owner's manual, that's all covered in it.

Yes you need 2 to make a 3rd yourself. If you only have one then you'll need to bring it to the dealer or a locksmith...a locksmith being the less expensive route. To know if it has PATS, turn the ignition on but don't start and see if a Theft light comes on the dash for a few seconds then goes out. If it does you have PATS.
