Door 3 button Remote Control
Shoulda programed it yourself, takes a couple minutes and saved the 35 bucks. I asked my dealer to cut one of the "uncut keys" from ebay, he refused. So if anyone is considering buying one of these, check your dealer in advance. </P>

if you have the correct tools (a dremel and the right bit) you can even mill/cut the key yourself as long as you have anothet key to go by. A friend of mine did it and it worked out ok.

Door 3 button Remote Control
Hey guys/gals</P>
If anyone in Canada has a remote for sale I will by it, well assuming you sell it cheaper then the dealer. Let me know cause I definitely need one. Using the key lock is a pain the *** especially in the cold weather. Ya I know I'm being picky, but a nice car like an audi doesn't look good when I have to put the key in the hole to open the door. Anyways, please let me know. I don;t want to buy it on ebay cause first off the canadian ebay doesn't cell it and the only way I can get one is off the American ebay. I rather get it privately from someone in canada, or someone where I don;t have to pay all the shipping duty charges. Thanks guys.</P>

You're probably going to have to be more specific about which remote you are after. The A4 has had at least 4 key fobs style's since 1996. If you have a 96, you can only use the 96 remote, asthe central locking systemwas updated in 97. </P>
-1996 remote</P>
-1997+ remote</P>
-Switchblade (lock, unlock, panic)</P>
-Switchblade (lock, unlock, trunk, panic) </P>
Anyone know if i left something out? </P>

RE: Door 3 button Remote Control
How did you get a key on ebay to work for your car? Don't you need a dealer to cut it with your car's code? Will they cut a key you bring to them? Im in the process of trying to get a spare key now, and it's going to cost me $180 at the dealer. I'd really like to find a way around this if possible...
