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
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
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
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
you just looked it up? lol! i've never done an A3 with anything other than an id48. Turns out they just used id13 on 1997 only. Never done a 97. Think oldest i've done was a 98
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?
the chip they fitted looks like that? A3 has never used that type of chip. That's a carbon type chip. A3 have always used the glass megamos transponder. 8L uses an id48 T6. 8P A3 still uses an id48 but it's a canbus id48 tp25 transponder
You need the transponder in the link below

Part number for 2 button remote is 4d0837231r
as for auto locksmith saying they don't do them for your car, are they a mickey mouse company? Any auto locksmith can get those remotes new from companies like 3d group who are a locksmiths suppliers. I know 100% they sell them as I'm registered...
part numbers are easy, no need for VIN. Thought you'd know them by now Tom
2 button 4d0837231r
I've been told a 3 button remote will work but i'm yet to have tried it because i haven't done anything for an 1997-00 A3 in well over a year
3 button 4d0837231a or n. Both a & n remotes are...
£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.

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?
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
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...
