Are you looking to replace the buttons because the icons on the front have worn off or because they don't work? The buttons/switches are available from any Porsche dealership, the part numbers are:
944-653-921-00
944-653-922-00
944-653-923-00
944-653-924-00
944-653-921-00
944-653-922-00
944-653-923-00
944-653-924-00

Darn dealer told me you couldnt buy the buttons. Said I needed to buy the whole unit. Think I will go back over and show them the numbers. We are talking about the 2 little square buttons on the right side?

Yes the 2 Little buttons. My dealer said the same even with part numbers-unavailable. This is the same unit in the 944 per I think adrians book so im going to check salvage yards for 944 buttons(should be less premium i think for 944 vs 911 maybe maybe not)

Just to clarify - you cannot buy just the plastic "cap" on each button (which you can pry off) - you need to buy the whole "switch", which is the actual switch mechanism.
My plastic caps were worn down, but the switch mechanisms worked fine, so I inquired about buying just the plastic caps - no luck, Porsche only sells the entire switch mechanisms. So, I bought all of the switch mechanisms (there were two - defog and recirculate was one switch mechanism and a/c was another switch mechanism - I think they were around $25 each).

i know, i know - bringing the thread back from the dead, but looking at this :
http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p...-88/813-30.php
the above part numbers are referring to a single tip switch - not two separate switches.
as it is depicted here :
any chance someone has figured out where to get just the two switches ?
