Default 2001 Audi A4 1.8T Series of Unfortunate Events. Help!!

Okay I’ll start from the beginning. So, the key lock on the driver door broke and only spins around in circles- it’s not able to lock or unlock the car. Then, the key fob died, so I had to replace the batteries, but since I replaced the batteries I had to reprogram the key fob. The problem is that the only way to reprogram the key fob is using both sets of keys with the driver door lock and the ignition. So the only way I can lock and unlock my car is by using the trunk lock (twice left to unlock, once right to lock). This puts a lot of stress on the key, so over time the key broke off of the key fob. Now I have 3 problems: a broken driver door lock, an useless key fob, and a broken key. Does anyone know any other way to reprogram these keys??

You can reprogram the FOB through VCDS.
