i need to install my key all over again bc i tried something tht my bro told me to nd now i cant even open up my trunk with the button i gotta open it with the key nd nothing else and also i cnt use the remote i cnt lock unlock anything um is there any like hole that you gotta put the key in nd twist that it will program the key again?

 

I dont know. I've heard you can do it only at Dealer.
Idropped my key in the elevator (inside that hole) so now i'm using my second key but it doesnt work from the distance, only when you put a key inside.

 

I think its something like press the unlock, put the key in the ignition and turn it on (not start) then press the lock button. I know its something simple like that.

 

Page 54 of owners manual, if you have it, say’s…

- If the vehicle is locked, open the door with the mechanical key in your remote control
- Press the “unlock� button on the remote
- Insert the key into the ignition and turn to the “on� position (NOT start)
- Turn back to the “off� position
- Pull key from ignition
- Press either “lock� or “unlock� on the remote to complete the reset sequence.


If you have a vag-com it's a lot easier. http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/car...-matching.html

yep thank you that did it, i didnt have an owners manual so im just finding all these secret compartments now , by the way iv had the car forr abotu 2 weeks, 2004 audi a4 1.8t 6 speed manual , cold weather package silver with black nd black trim...freaking sweet considering im only 18..im pretty sure i own the hottest ride in my h.s hehe =]

 

nice, wish i could say the same when i was back in h.s. enjoy the car!

 

hehe thank you, i am indeed..compared to my other 96 mazda mx6 this feels like ..i cnt even explain

 

I used to have an mx6 --- cool car!!!

 

Does this also work for programming newly ordered keys from the dealership? They are charging me $100 to program the new key and I thought it might be better if I could find a way to program the key myself.

The existing key that I do have is the switchblade, but the buttons are stuck and I can't push them. I have a 2003 Q1.8T.

I've read a lot of different solutions all over the forums, but am not sure which one will work, at the same time I don't want to deprogram my existing key since it's the only one that I have.

Thanks

 

I tried this on my 3.0 because it has never worked since I got the car, even after changing the battery... and I still cant get it to work!!!
