Jest,
remember the A6 remote works too
I've confirmed it myself. You can also buy a used key and buy a generic blank cut and just replace the key part, it's pretty simple, took me about 5 mins to replace and program the key. My dealer cut it for $10, so like jest said, you need to call and find out if they'll do it.

what's the "immobilizer"? someone told me that not any uncut key will work. it has to have the "immobilizer" chip in it in order for it to start the car. otherwise, it's only good for opening the doors. anybody know what i'm talking about?

What year is your car? They started putting immobilizer chips in after a certain year, I cant remember right now and have to run out.... I'm sure someone knows off the top of their head.

Code:
1. Take your first key and insert it into the ignition. Turn it one click forward. 2. Roll down your window just in case. Step outside the car, and lock the car with the second key. 2b (optional, it might take a few times). Take key out of lock (it wouldn't program with the key in the lock for some reason) 3. With your key remote press the unlock button. The lights (my brake lights) should flash. 4. Now lock the car with the remote, and then unlock it. (it should unlock your doors). 5. Remove the key from the lock and the key from the ignition, and try it's function. I couldn't get an uncut key, so I bought a a6 remote with a cut key ($15) and then just a blank blade ($20) (the dealer cut it for $10 bucks), and followed these instructions to swap blades: Swapping keyblades… The keyblade is held in place with a small roll pin, flip out the keyblade halfway and you'll see it. To separate the keyblade from the device, just hammer out the pin with an appropriately sized punch or nail. After that, you should be able to pull the keyblade away from the device. If you can remove the keyblade properly, you can figure out how to reinstall it onto a new remote on your own. When reinstalling, just make sure the side of the keyblade with the logo “Huf” is facing the opposite side of the panic button when flipped outward, or else the roll pin would not go in
