I recently bought a used car and only have one key available. I want to make a copy of the Audi Advance Key. I see the genuine part is available to buy via Audis Parts website. https://parts.audiusa.com/p/Audi__A4...9754AKTKE.html

I wanted to find out if anyone has programmed an extra key for their Audi A4 and an share instructions on how to do it. I have OBDEleven so can do some programming/coding it needed.

It has to be taken to the dealer to be programmed. They need to authenticate against an Audi server to get the codes needed to program the keys.

Thanks for that info. I went to the dealership and they quoted me $220 for the key transmitter plus $75 for the physical key + $145 for labor which is their hourly rate. So a total of $440 plus tax.

I was looking at the Audi parts website and found Audi in Naples Florida selling the kay for 20% off regular $220. https://parts.audinaples.com/p/Audi_...9754AKTKE.html

I might ask the dealership if they can get the part for that price from Audi Naples if there is no way to save money on programming by myself.

Any news on this topic? As I also need a spare key and have one working. I can buy the spare key with same ID dirty cheap, but need to program it accordingly. I know for older audi cars it was super easy. Not sure if its so for B9.

What was the reason? Have you bought used key?

If that is the case you cannot blame them for charging for the work.

Hi, I'm in the same situation, my Audi A4 2017 came with 1 key only (I have noticed that it has 2 keys registred on the dash) I have asked an Audi dealer in Toronto and they quote me around $600 CAD for an original key, remote, and programming. It's crazy expensive for something you can buy used on eBay for less than $100 (oem key).
They said that they won't work with any aftermarket parts so they won't even try to program my key so I was wondering if I can program the key by myself? Or does anyone know any shop in Toronto that will do a key cut / programming?

I'm interested more in the remote than the actual key - the keyless entry work perfect for me.

Audi has a list of 3rd party key coding retailers that may be cheaper than the dealership. They had legal problems a few years back over this.
