RE: upgrading key fob..
I have a question along those lines. Is it possible to extend the range of the key fob. I saw some posts about repositioning the antena in the car but I have read forums for other cars and wireless devices and some had extended the range by opening the key fob and soldiering a longer antena or soldering it to a metal part that you touch when you push a button (which causes you to become part of the antena).
P.S. I tried holding it next to my head and all that happens was I looked like a Nut Job. Thanks.

Ari- I would say probably, give your dealer a call.
syxxty- search under 2k s4's name he did a diy on that, you just splice it and add more antenna (wire) oh and its on the pass side rear underneathe

Bump to find out the answer to the original question. I'd like to get a new key for my 2002, which I understand the dealer has to program. But will they be able to program that newer style for an older car?

Here is a DIY on extending your key fob range its only for B5 S4, havent tried it yet so I'm not sure if it works.

Yea u can add the new kefob, search the forums over at Audi world , and i believe u can use the trunk button if you have vagcom access. The only thing that maybe a issue is the newer Audis have a transponder in there so idk how that New Fob worked.

Bean thinking bout this for a wile too...
I have got the key fob with the 3 buttons that could do with replacing and was wanting to get the key fob from the B7 A4's - like the one pictured in ARI's link, coz it looks a bit newer and all, but the question is can the B7 key be programed by the dealer for a B5?
Also told by Audi parts that they go by u VIN when ordering keys and wat eva thay send is wat u get from Germany.
It really answered my above question [:'(]
