Default unique key problem

I just bought a 2001 audi quattro 2.8 and the only key that came with it is the master or valet key. It is just a regular audi key with no remote buttons.

I bought another master key off ebay to have as a spare. I can get the key cut, but as far as programming, everything I have read on this or any other forum has been about how to program the remotes with using the old key in ignition and pressing buttons on the remotes.

Does anyone know of a way to program a second master key when the only key I have that works is the master with no buttons.

I just need to program the immobilizer function.


Thanks in advance,


Mike

you cant program that portion of the key like that if you have a shop that can cut the key they should be able to program the chip in the key so long as you take the key that came with the car with you. problem is very few key shops can do this. I ended up getting mine from the dealer as no local shops could make and program an Audi key.
