i just got a remote from ebay, and i follow the instruction from the seller to program it. however once i program the new remote, the old remote stop functioning. I did it a couple time and i got the same result over and over again. Mine is a 2000 a4 2.8 auto, i asked the dealer and they told me it's going to cost me one hours of labor to program it for me. I look did a search in this form and find no one with a similar problem with me. please help.

"9) Press unlock button once for remote 1"
"11) Press unlock button twice for remote 2"

 

will this work for a B6? i had a new inst cluster installed today and they only reprogrammed the key i had with me. thanks

 

Thank's for the help, but this is one of many version of programing the remote I have read so far. This might also be the most confusing one.

 

when u buy a switchable key on ebay, what if it was programmed to another car before, will this stil work? Also, is there a place to cut the key besides the dealer(for B6 cars)? Thanks

 

Typically no, the dealer must cut the key. My dealer only charges $5 to do it.

 

the dealer i went to charge me 15$ just to cut the key, and the service dept told me it's an hours of labor to program the remote for me, and it's a hundred dollars per hour of labor. Dealer lie and charge way too much.

 

damn i got charged $45 to cut a key. parts dept guy said it was free to program the remote. i did reprogeam my remote myself days before i went to the dealer....so really no freebe

 

do you remember how did you program the second remote? for some reason once i program my second remote the first one stop working, then i try program the first remote, my second one stop working. it's weird.
