Default New key fob BT - do the FCC ID#s have to match?

I'm checking them out on ebay but con't find an exact match. Also, any recommended ebayers? I STFA and some recommended "Lemenpro" but can't find any auctions. Anyone buy from "midwestkeyless"?

Default It feels slower than my stg 2+. :-/ The drivers side fender liner was trimmed horribly

and rubs like crazy or is banging around on the fender over every bump. There is some padding tucked up inside the liner I think to keep it from flopping around but I'll need to fix that.
The plastic rubbing/baning noise could also be coming from the RS4 bumper - it's missing several connecting points and has a nice big crack underneath. Off to the body shop this week for a good detailing inside & out, rolling the fenders & attaching all the loose bits.

The LWFW and clutch need some getting used to. The clutch is on or off. So starting out, I'm used to feathering the clutch a bit but now it seems like I'm revving it too much since the clutch won't engage & them BAM it's on with some chatter. It's a pretty new clutch so hopefully it will break in a bit and become more smooth.

As far as performance....I'll take it on a longer drive today to get it really warmed up. It could be feeling the effects of the flooding and the altitude and it's running rich. i got a nice backfire out of it last night on the way home.

I got a bit of a fever last night so I didn't feel very well so I'll get out there later today when it warms up.

Default I don't believe so... (more inside)

I bought a key fob from eBay for my last Audi (98 A4 2.8Q 5MT) and paid no attention to the ID#. Once I programmed my car, it worked perfectly; and my existing key fobs continued to work

As long as you have your key in the ignition with the auxillaury power on, I remember that you can program your car to receive up to 5 unique key fob frequencies.

Keep in mind this was for a B5 A4; but I expect it to be the same for our S cars

Hope it helps

Default Cool. I have emailed the ebayer since he's sold hundreds of fobs.

He will probably know or have the correct key. He's selling them for $50 which is a lot less than the dealer!
