I would like to get a remote start for my 1999 a6,but they need a chip in the key.I would like to get a key made. Help the dealership wants about $300.00

 

What letter is on your key? I have a '99 A6 and mine is a "W". It's right by the hilt on the metal. If it's a W, it means that there is no immobilizer inside your car and you won't need a chip.

 

Hey, my Audi key has " W " on it, and I'm sure my '01 A6 has immobilizer .

 

Hmm, maybe i'm wrong then! I definitely read somewhere that the W meant it doesn't have one. Interesting. I'll do some research...

edit: here's where i read it: http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/immobilizer.html I guess I read wrong when i was skimming. It needs to have a W with a strikethrough to indicate a car without an immobilizer.

My key has the W stamped on it.Does this mean I don't have a immobilizer?It's a 1999.

 

I didn't think '99 have immobilizer, 2000 or '01 was supposed to be first year (A6).
Give your VIN to Audi dealer, they will know.
