In awe of VCDS
Hi everyone,
For some reason the search function says there are no matches for 'key', maybe the word is too short.
Anyway.. I've just picked up my '07 A3 and it's only got one key.
Can someone clarify what my options are please. If possible I'd like to avoid going to the dealer because I imagine it'll be a small fortune.
With my old mk4 Golf, I was able to buy the keys including the blade part new and blank from a private company (I can't find them now) and then just get them cut and coded. Is this the same with the newer Audi keys, or have they found a way to keep us going back to the dealer.
Is buying a used key and a new blank blade an option?
I'm just waiting on an email from Nigel and then hopefully I will have VCDS, so if coding is possible then I should be able to do that bit myself.
Thanks,
Dan
