Not to beat a dead horse, but if you have a good working key, just have a good old school locksmith cut you a new key. You can purchase blanks from Pelican. Although some have had luck with hardware stores cutting keys, my local locksmith failed to properly cut my key and I wasted an expensive blank. I found a different experienced old school locksmith familiar with Porsches and it was no problem.

If you have it cut by the key code, they are much more expensive. As I recall, my locksmith said he can cut by code but the cost was $70. It was $5 or $10 just using the old key. Some dealers can do this, but call them first. One dealer said they "weren't sure," and another said they could, but the cost was $140 for a new key for my 1981 911SC.

I think your 69 key is easier to cut, but I would use a locksmith that has successfully cut Porsche keys before.

Good luck.
