does any one know how much is it is to get a new key programed and if it can be done by a non audi garge or locksmith
thanks
 
not sure how much it is ( its not cheap) but can only be done by Audi.
 
this one really needs to be documented in a FAQ.. together with facelift headlight installation, and all those other searchable queries.

do the mods or admin have any plans for improvement of this site, such as the creation and maintenance of more FAQ's?
 
Found this procedure a long time ago and I stored it as a .txt file on my PC
so I don't remember where I got it from (perhaps from here?) or to which models it applies
