Default Call the local Audi dealer, give them the vin and they should be able to cut for you.

You might be able to use a VW dealer. Don't know how much they will charge but it will be cheaper than redoing your locks.

Default If your locksmith is really good, remove one of your door handle cylinders...

the thing that you stick your key into, and bring that to him. He should be able to "code" a key blank to it. I have had to do this before. However, some locksmiths aren't so inclined to do this, because it's a technique used by car thiefs sometimes. A thief will pull out your lock, and leave, wihing looks like an "attempt" to break in your car. You fix your lock, thinking all is good, when a few days later, he returns, with a key, and drives off with your pride and joy... So good luck...

Default Yes...

I called a locksmith and he was able to figure out the key cut no problem- I didn't need any numbers or anything!

Default Called up stealership.....

.... and I am going to have to take the door panel off and get at the whole door handle to get teh code. One wierd part the Audi key is 34 cents cheaper then the genric key, the one time when an original Audi part is cheaper then generic.
