I am looking for a new key and remote replacement. I need just the remote but this would be a nice combo. I have the 97 a8q. thanks<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=33723&amp;item =7930186159&amp;rd=1">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=33723&amp;item =7930186159&amp;rd=1</a</li></ul>

But for $53, can't you get a new one at the dealer? Do you really want a nasty remote that somebody has used for a while?

$53 for a new remote from a dealer? I will have to look into it.. I thought they went for much more. I guess the question is can a remote like this that has a uncut key get cut and also cna the remote get reprogramed to work with the 97?

marcodant

also how do you program these? have you ever done it? thanks

`YOU CAN BUY AN OLD REMOTE ON EBAY FOR 15$.

DEALER SHOULD CHARGE YOU ABOUT 30 FOR NEW KEY ALREADY CUT.

THIS IS WHAT i DID.

iF YOU ARE ON EAST COAST BOSTON AREA YOU CAN TRY CLAIR AUDI. THEY DONE WORK FOR ME.

Go to audipages, technical and maintenance, body for remote programing

do I have to match the FCC number or mhz(channel) with my current or are they all programable via the vag and following the audipages guide?? thanks

PaulW

This has been asked many times before, do a search for FCC or MHZ on the D2 forum, you'll find the answers.

Or just go the local stealer, get the remote, make sure you have two keys to your car with you, and go out and program it to your car in the parking lot....if it works, buy it! I have not come across anybody that it didn't work.

thanks paul.. did you pay $53 for the remote and key? was it a switch blade type?? the dealer here is much more then $53. thanks

PaulW

I paid about $120 for key and remote, remote only is only about half of that
