Autozone now makes fob keys.

 

You mean they actually stock the key, or they have the ability to cut them?

 

they stock the keys and remotes, however they don't carry the audi keys.

My dad works there and I already talked to the distributor.

 

That's strange, doesn't seem like an item they would carry.

 

yeah they just started doing it. I think they are testing it to see the response.

Hope that link works for you.

I did however find this site: http://www.keylessride.com/default.asp

for my remote & key it is $83.

 

First link doesn't work.

 

Works perfect Jestnomen!

I followed these instructions:


1. Take a spare 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 a second key.

2b. Take key out of lock (it wouldn't program with the key in the lock for some reason)

3. With your second key fob press the unlock button. The lights should flash.

4. Now lock the car with the key fob, and then unlock it.

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 ke ($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

 

excellent, glad it worked out for you.

 

autozone stocks almost nothing for any german cars.
