The problem is that this appears to need programming - and I do not have access to such a tool, nor does my regular mechanic whom I rely on for more involved repairs.
Are there other options available aside from bringing the car to a dealer for a new part and programming (I was hoping to try and find a replacement online, so even with that don't know if there is a possibility to just bring to a dealer to get programmed after I replace it).
Anyone have any experience with such a repair ? (I'm not even sure if my 2004 986 S has the same type of thing or not).

You need a PIWIS unit to do this, and I would be willing to bet that a dealer would "adjust" their diagnostic time charge to offset the component revenue if you attempted to do that.
