Identify and duplicate Securicode auto anti-theft device?

I have a 1997 car purchased in 2002 with an anti-theft device. There is a sensor with a blinking red light under the ignition, and the "key" is a translucent plastic cylinder with some electronics or coil of electrical material inside. To unlock the ignition interlock, I have to wave the cylinder near the blinking light, until it's recognized by the circuitry. The cylinder has the word SECURICODE on it, and is about 1-1/2 inches long and 1/4 inch in diameter, with the coil being about half that in diameter, as far as I can tell.

Any ideas how I can get a duplicate, if I can verify proof of owernship of the vehicle?

Update:

But who IS the manufacturer? We got the car from a dealership now closed for fraud. If THEY installed the system, there's no record available of the actually manufactuer or serial number of the device.

Update 2:

Please change "actually" to "actual" in the previous additional detail. I should learn to type slower....

    This can be done the same way that you would duplicate a transponder key, you will need to contact the manufacturer and they will ask for two forms on ID along with a picture ID as well...
