Audi Car Keys in Eastleigh
Audi key trouble? Call 02382 180574
Audi sits in the same family as Volkswagen, so many of the key systems overlap — but each model generation still has its own way of doing things. Replacement, spare and programmed keys for the A and Q ranges, with a straight answer on anything that needs dealer-only equipment.

Because Audi shares platforms with VW, SEAT and Škoda, key work on the two makes often runs along similar lines — remote flip keys on most models, proximity fobs on the newer and higher-spec cars. The differences are in the details: which immobiliser generation is fitted, and how the vehicle is put into programming mode. The registration settles all of that before a quote is given.
Audi keys we supply and program
Remote flip keys
The fitment across A1s, A3s, A4s and similar models of recent years: a folding blade with remote buttons. A replacement is cut to the lock code and programmed to the immobiliser and central locking.
Keyless (Advanced Key) fobs
Later and higher-spec Audis detect the fob for keyless entry and push-button start. Where the vehicle supports it, replacement fobs are programmed for full keyless operation and the emergency blade is cut to the door lock.
Older transponder keys
Earlier Audis with plain chip keys are usually among the simplest premium keys to replace — blade cut, chip programmed, back on the road.
Common Audi key jobs
- All keys lost on an A3 or A4 — a new key created from the vehicle where possible.
- A spare fob so the household is not down to one.
- A fob no longer detected by a keyless car, often after a battery change.
- Damaged flip mechanisms — the folding hinge is a weak point on tired keys.
- Keys locked in the car — see vehicle entry.
Information needed to quote
