Yes, Porsche has eliminated the starter switch from the parts bin. They want to replace the entire lock, a few crumbs for the dealer per se.

They also redesigned the lock, though not the starter switch. Replacing the lock itself is much more complicated because of all the mechanical inks to the clutch/Tip, steering lock, etc. That's not a job I would look forward to and i doubt I coukld do it in 3.5 hrs., at least the first time.
