We come to the vehicle
Audi shares Volkswagen's security architecture but layers additional component protection on top, and the higher-end MLB-platform cars are among the harder mainstream vehicles to key.
The practical result is that an Audi with no working keys is a vehicle most locksmiths will not touch. Owners are routinely quoted a tow plus a dealer appointment several days out.
We work Audis regularly, including all-keys-lost, at your location.
What matters on a Audi
Component protection
Audi cryptographically pairs modules to the vehicle. Replacement components require adaptation before the car will run correctly.
Comfort access
Keyless Audis need the key written to the comfort access system as well as the immobilizer, or proximity unlock will not work even though the car starts.
Bench access
Later models frequently require module removal for all-keys-lost work. We are equipped for it on site.

Audi key questions
Do I need to tow my Audi to the dealer for a new key?
No. We come to the vehicle with the equipment needed to generate a key, including on all-keys-lost cars where the security data must be read from a module.
How long does an Audi key take?
Adding a spare while you still have a working key is usually thirty to forty-five minutes. All-keys-lost on a later model is a two to three hour job.
Will an aftermarket Audi key work as well as the original?
For most models yes, and we test every function before payment. On some platforms only a genuine key will accept programming, and where that is the case we supply the genuine part and tell you why the price reflects it.
