Thank you for posting your solution. I need to do the same. My car came with only one key and the buttons on that one don’t even work. So thinking will make at least one good key and use the old one as a back up.

Look around, but you need to have from a dealership with the number codes they give you attached to the key, as they use in the programming. 2) Use autobest2015 off Ebay for a laser cut key blade. Take a picture of the old key and have them laser cut a replica. This takes forever, like a month, but cost $13 for my 986. Finally, call around to dealerships near you and get a price quote for programming the Fob. West Houston did mine for $150. All in, I got a second key under $400 in late 2023!
