I just bought a 2000 911 and I need another key, seller only had one. Problem is nearest Porsche dealer is in denver and I'm in Billings, MT, any ideas to get one beside going 500 miles to denver? Also has anybody had any success getting the rear plastic window cleared up, its cloudy from the creases when I fold it down.

I think with the key you should be able to order one from a dealer if you have proof of ownership.

I did this recently with my BMW. I went away on holidays and my kids lost one of my keys.

I called the dealer, they had me fax my drivers license and ownership to them (plus my VISA info).

They got the key and I picked it up but I'm sure they would courier it to you.

I have a 99 Cab and the window was getting a bit cloudy in places. I went to the dealer and they have a plastic window cleaner that works really well. I think it was less than $15.

Sorry, that won't work if your want the alarm system to work.

The key must be programmed to the car - both the car and key have unique identifiers.

Sorry for the misinformation.

When I went through the process with the BMW they gave me a sheet of instructions that I had to follow to get the key and the car talking.

It's okay - Porsche is different. 9x6 series cars all have keys that are matched to the car. Even to the point that if you want to change one key you have to have all keys present for the programming.
