activate ignition key

If you have one working key there are third parties that can clone the "pill" that is in the key. I have done this with 2 boxsters.

Is this true? That's not been my understanding before this.
How do I find someone who'll do this, and what's the savings versus a dealer?
(A key and programming from the dealer here is a $500 nut!)

I went to a place in Montreal with my Boxster and my working key. It took about a half hour and I got a second key that starts the car and opens the door mechanically for $172.46 CDN. They cut a new key blade then clone the pill.
I went through the list of local shops that clone keys and found only a couple that could do my 2000 Boxster. I have had them do this for my 2 Boxsters.
I can give you the information on the shop... but as I said they need the car and the key so it won't work by mail!
