Default Switchblade Keys

Hey all, this is my first post. Great Forum!


I have a 98 A4 with switchblade keys, the other day my keys fell and broke the hooking that holds the keyrings to the actual casing of the key module... all I need is a new casing. I called the dealership and asked about buying a new casing and they said I would need a whole new bottum half (which comes with a new computer chip) for $111.00. I knew they would have done that.

is there a way to buy just the audi key casing? or if I really do need to by the lower half of the key module is there a cheap site to buy that from? Cause the rep said I could program it in myself...any ideas?

Brandon

So I can go on ebay and just buy the lower half of the module that comes with the chip and just program it in myself? have any of you guys done this, if so how much am I looking at to spend?

Also, is ebay the only reccomendation? I didn't know if there was another website or anything.

So can anyone tell me the just of programming it, like the rundown?

Thankyou fellas!

Well, usually it comes with a cut key attached, or you could buy a blank one, too
