Default Replacement Key FOB

HEy All,

So less than 400 miles on my car, and I have seemed to have lost one of my key fobs. Anyone have any idea how much a replacement is?

Do you have Advanced Key or not?

Either way, you've got 3 costs
1) Cost of fob
2) Cost to cut key
3) Cost to program car to accept new fob

If you've got VAG-COM / VCDS or a friend with it you I think can do 3) yourself.

Either way, you've got 2 costs
1) Cost of fob ~ $ 200 to $300
2.) not relevant
3) Cost to program car to accept new fob

Only if you never need to use the emergency key.

When I purchased my Audi, the salesmen warned me not to lose it since it costs around 500 to replace.

Nope - has to be done by the dealer.
