1. In the spirit of Teutonic attention to detail, is there any way to determine from Porsche the VIN the key that will allow me to remove the wheel lock bolts?
2. If not, is there some tool which will allow me to accomplish the task. I’ve seen universal kits on Amazon, but suspect they are for non-German vehicles that use lug nuts rather than bolts.
Dead in the water til I figure this one out.

My suggestion would be to go down the mildly destructive route, and to replace them with standard wheel bolts. If you can figure out what size metric or US socket can be hammered on over the wheel lock, that should enable you to get it out and toss it in the scrap bucket.
Good news is that you learned about this now, not on the side of the road, at night, in the rain, with a flat tire.
