Audi car keys in Adelaide

Audi is a premium manufacturer with sophisticated key systems that have changed over the generations. We can work on many Audi models, but the coverage story is complex because of the way Audi has rolled out its security features.

Like all European premium makes, some Audis are straightforward, some are not, and you need to tell us the exact model and year. Text your Audi model and year and we will give you an honest answer without any guessing or false promises.

Text your Audi model and year and we will confirm what key it uses and whether we can help. Coverage varies by model and year. We quote before any work starts.

Audi key types through the years

Audi has used different key platforms across its range. The older your Audi, the simpler the key is likely to be, but there are exceptions.

Not sure which key type your Audi uses? Send a photo of your key alongside your model and year and we will identify it.

Older Audis, especially earlier A4 and A6 models, used basic transponder keys with a chip matched to the immobiliser.
Many mid-range Audis use a remote key or flip key, where the remote control and transponder are programmed as a pair.
Newer Audis, including recent A4, A6, Q5 and Q7 models, use a smart or proximity key for keyless entry and push-button start.
Some of the newer high-security Audi platforms can be dealer-only, and we will tell you honestly if yours is one of them.

Spare Audi key or all-keys-lost

If you still have a working Audi key, get a spare made now. It is cheaper and simpler because we can program the new key from the one you have.

If every Audi key is gone, that is an all-keys-lost job. It is more involved and takes longer, so it costs more than a spare. Either way, tell us where you stand and we will map it out plainly.

Audi immobiliser faults and key programming

Audi key is in the ignition or the smart key is detected, but the car will not start? That can be an immobiliser fault or a key issue rather than a worn key.

Text us your Audi model and year and we will tell you what is going on before you book anything.

What to have ready for an Audi key

Have your registration or VIN handy so we can check what your Audi model needs, and photo ID, because we confirm you are the owner before we program any keys.

If you are making a spare, bring your working Audi key so we can program the new one from it.

Tested before sign-off

Every key we program is tested in front of you before we call it done.

It locks.
It unlocks.
It starts the car.

If it does not pass, we do not call it done. You walk away with a key that works.

Common questions

Honest answers to the usual questions

Can you make a key for my Audi A4 or A6?

On many Audi models, yes. A4 and A6 are among the Audi models we see most often, across older transponder keys, remote keys and newer smart keys. But coverage varies by generation and year. Text your exact model and year and we will confirm before you book.

Do you program Audi smart keys and keyless entry fobs?

On many newer Audis, yes. We program smart and proximity fobs for keyless entry and push-button start as well as transponder and remote keys. Some of the newest high-security Audi platforms can be dealer-only, so we confirm your model and year first.

Can you help with Audi Q5 or Q7 keys?

On many Q5 and Q7 generations, yes. These models have used different key systems over time. Some are straightforward, others less so. Text your exact model and year and we will tell you what is possible and what it costs.

I have lost all the keys to my Audi, can you help?

On many Audi models, yes. With all keys gone, we set up the immobiliser from scratch and program a fresh key. It is more involved than a spare, so it takes longer and costs more. Text your model and year and we will tell you straight what is possible and what the cost is.

How much is a spare Audi key?

It depends on the Audi model and whether it is a transponder, remote or smart key. A spare made while you still have a working key costs less than an all-keys-lost job. We do not guess. Text your model and year and we will quote before any work starts.
