Audi started using sidewinder transponder keys in 2001 and most vehicles adopt the use of transponder keys. The Audi A4 is an exception which did not had transponders until 2002.
In 2006 few models started using the smart key based on the Keyless Entry & Keyless Start (KESSY). This technology also use transponders and is either standard or optional equipment on various model and years.
Transponder key provide vehicles with a higher security level against theft. Transponder deter and prevent theft by eliminating the option of âhot wiringâ the car using a discrete code. This makes breaking the door and ignition lock ineffective! If the car computer doesnât recognize the key microchip code, it wonât start.
An immobilized Audi consist of immobilizer, RFID transponder key and an antena around the ignition switch. When the key turned in the ignition, the antenna induces a voltage in the transponder chip. The chip send a unique encrypted code signal to the immobilizer. If the immobiliser recognize the code, it sends back a random number to the key. The key and immobiliser both calculate the codes. If the codes match on both sides, normal engine starting is allowed.
Audi key programming is done with VW proprietary diagnostic equipment and programmers. The process of making a spare key also requires a unique PIN code obtained from Audi. All previous keys must to be present for the duplication process.
To duplicate a Audi key you have two options, the dealer or a locksmith. Getting a spare key from the dealership is a good option for a good quality OEM keys. The locksmith will be a good option if you are looking for the convenience.
Each lock on your Audi created with a special keycode at manufacturing time and saved with the VIN. Using the VIN, the locksmith or the dealer whatâs designated for each cut in the key. To duplicate a key you will provide your VIN number, registration or title. Many times the dealer don't have the key in stock and will order a replacement key from Audi which will takes 2 to 5 days to be delivered. Once the key has arrived, you will have to drive with your vehicle to the dealer to cut and program the new key.
Few locksmiths have the ability to identify, edit, generate and clone transponder keys, remotes and smart keys. Using special key cloning machine, they can detect the signals from the transponder key code and the ignition coil. Cloning is usually used when you don't want to wait for the dealer key or if there is a problem in the vehicle key-lock system. For example, if the ignition cylinder and coil was replaced before.
Audi was one of the first to protect the transponder with a unique 4-digit PIN code for each vehicle. Initially, the code was available only to the dealer. The 4 digit was âhashedâ in a 7-digit PIN that changed daily and is unique to the specific dealer.
The 4 digit code was eventually cracked and could easily be converted back to a 4-digit static PIN. Using a proprietary diagnostic tool (VAS 5052), few locksmiths can make keys to Audi until 2005.
In 2006 Audi countermeasure the process to keep grubby locksmiths from tinkering with their preciouses. Their proprietary diagnostic tool has to be plugged in simultaneously to the vehicle and to Audi database via the internet.
After a wotldwide protest, Audi made the ability to program keys available to third parties. A locksmith today can program Audi keys ONLY if he purchase the VAS 5052 from Audi.
Audi offer onboard interface to duplicate remotes! In order to program a duplicate remote, you will need one functional key and a cut and programmed key. To get a cut and programmed key you can ask the dealer for a key by VIN or to buy cut key online. Follow the insrtruction below to program a duplicate remote:
One exception to the above is if the ignition changed and is not in sync with the VIN. In the second case a locksmith need to replace the ignition again or to make a new key by reading the key grooves inside the ignition cylinder. This process is more complex and requires a locksmith with the right machine and experience.
If you lost all your keys to a vehicle that uses transponder key, the motor vehicle computer module should be reprogrammed. The immobiliser will accept a new key and reject the old one certifying the disabling of the old/lost/stolen key.
This recoding interface available only to the Audi dealer or a licensed locksmith. This means that the car towed to the dealer or a mobile locksmith will have to come out to you.
Note - If you choose to tow your vehicle to the dealer, you don't need the car at the dealer when you order the key. You only need to tow the vehicle when the new key arrives to the dealer.
