    Deactivate lost keys

    The SKC came on a plastic tag along with key code from factory. Most have been lost or thrown away. There's plenty of people that do keys cheaper than Audi & they will come to you. Won't matter to them if you don't have the SKC because they'll have equipment to read it from clocks or ECU

    Deactivate lost keys

    you need something like Vag Tacho, Vag Commander etc. 110% DO NOT go to Audi for a key. It's going to be £180 minimum for an 8L key

    Deactivate lost keys

    you can't code any keys to the immo if you haven't got the SKC(pin code0 & VCDS doesn't read pin codes. You need other equipment for that

    How much to reprogram a key?

    without testing the key you can't guarantee it just needs programming. The transponder chip in the key may have been damaged so no matter how many times someone tries to code it to the car it isn't going to work

    Need urgent heeeeeelp.....transponder in fob

    I did a job for someone desperate yesterday. Charged him £120 for a full new remote key doing & he was 15 miles away. New id48 transponders are about £5 so if he was local to you he made a fair old whack on that. But as you say when you need it doing you've no choice

    Key fob

    internals don't fit. I've tried it. So you're only option if you want to repair your original remote is to get a new case the same as yours. Just make sure you get a case that holds the same type of battery

    Remote key fob replacement

    i'm really not sure how they've used a carbon chip. Every bit of equipment i have uses the glass type. I've never seen a carbon id48 & been doing this full time for almost 3 years but a fair few years prior as well in the motor trade. Do you know what equipment they used?

    Remote key fob replacement

    £190 for a non remote! that's just rape! Anyways, yes it's possible to program a used remote but to do it yourself you need 2 keys. 1 for in the ignition & 1 for the door lock. If you haven't got 2 keys then you need to either get another done or get someone with VCDS to program the remote. 1...

    Remote not working

    more than likely the wrong part number. Most people just go buy 2nd hand remotes without checking part numbers & buy 1 because it looks the same. Are you trying to connect to the correct module?

    Key and Fob

    Seems to vary depending on the actual dealer. I've seen prices range from £160 to £300 for early model Audi remotes. Someone in Sheffield from TT forum was quoted £300. He paid a lot less for someone to go to his & do it. He paid £100

    Key and Fob

    Tom lives in Retford, nearly 650 miles away & not all of that he can do in his car unless he's bought an amphibious vehicle! :) Buy yourself some equipment such as Vag Tacho & VCDS & do it yourself. Will work out cheaper & you can then use your equipment to to a bit of programming for others on...

    A3 8l immobiliser problem

    i didn't say it didn't. I said it shouldn't. Find someone with VCDS that can do a scan. It should've stored an error code

    A3 8l immobiliser problem

    once it's started & running the immob shouldn't cut in. You can even remove the chip from the key once it's started & running & it won't cut out
