Hi Folks,
I'm just wondering if any of you guys and gals have had experience getting replacement/duplicate keys for your B5 A4s - A good friend of mine at work is about to buy one; we've been over and done all the dealer-scaring VAG-COM bit, and there's no worries on that score... There is however, the problem that the car only has one 'flippy' key - it needs to have at least two.
So, firstly, is it possible the flip-key is the master? If not, does anyone know how much Audi will charge for a replacement master? If a replacement master is needed, I assume there is some key-matching to immobiliser to be done; and I also assume that some of this may be possible with a HEX-COM?
Also, does anyone know how much a replacement secondary key costs (assuming you do have the master to cut from).
And finally (in the voice of sir Trev); does anyone know conclusively a) how much of the key cutting etc. might be possible by someone other than Audi, and b) how much a Vaio and VAG-COM can be used to minimise costs?
Thanks in advance folks,
Regards,
Rob.
