Extra key for 2003 Audi
Brought a 2003 Audi A4 quattro but it came with only one key. Does anyone know how to get a extra key much cheaper than the dealer's price of over $300? I live in Tampa.

If you only have one key like I do, and loose it, it is an entire day's time and $500 to have the car towed to a dealer and a new one made from your VIN info!
You can call the number in the listing above and deal with them direct. i just ordered a spare for both our Audis. $35 to $60 for the remote with key blank, new batteries, and immobilizer chip. You then have to get the key laser cut and the unit programmed at a dealer (or a rare locksmith so equipped to handle Audi stuff) You have to have any keys and remotes for the car there at the same time, as they need to program them together for them all the work.
On the A4's, you need to remove the key portion of your remote, and get the best magnifier you own out to read the super fine print that tells what model remote you have. You will need this info, otherwise, the remote you get might not be able to work with the car no matter how much you try to program it. there is a series of numbers starting with 8 and ending with a letter. My 2002 A4 took the rare "B" ending letetr remote, and i had a hard time finding one. these guys in the link above had them. Ones that end in F are easier to find.

About $60 for the remote and key black with chip set up, and the dealer or locksmith charges $120 to laser cut the key and program the remotes/activate chip. So about $180 total. If you get the remote form the dealer, then the price shoots up to over $300 a piece. When I had an extra key made for my older cars, it cost about $5.00, but that is progress, and Audis are less likely to be stolen than most cars these days.

Your only other option if you lost the only key is to get one from a dealer based on VIN and prove ownership. Last I knew, for security, they also no longer cut replacement keys. They only program them. They get them ordered and pre-cut directly from VW/Audi.
