Audi Security And Technology: What We Handle
Modern Audi keys combine mechanical precision with digital security:
-
Transponder Chips
These tiny chips communicate with your Audi’s immobiliser to allow the engine to start. We perform accurate transponder programming and adaptation. -
Remote and Smart Keys
From classic folding remotes to proximity keys for push-button start, we diagnose faults and replace or program new units. -
OBD2, EEPROM, and ECU/Immobiliser Programming
When keys can’t be added via the standard route—such as after loss of all keys or immobiliser lockout—we can complete programming using EEPROM techniques and immobiliser data handling, following strict, lawful procedures. -
Component Protection Considerations
On certain Audi platforms, component protection may restrict unauthorised parts or key coding. We follow compliant processes and advise you clearly on timescales and steps.
Dealer Vs Local Audi Locksmith
-
Speed and Convenience
Avoid towing and waiting days for a dealer appointment. Our mobile service comes to you, often the same day. -
Cost-Effective
In many cases, an auto locksmith is more affordable than a main dealer once you factor in recovery, time off work, and lead times. For more on value and variables, see our guidance on auto locksmith prices in Bromley. -
Transparent, Personal Service
You speak directly to the technician who’ll do the job, with clear explanations of what’s needed and why.
FAQs: Audi Keys And Locks
Can you make an Audi key without the original?
Yes. We can create a replacement key and program it to your Audi even if all keys are lost. We’ll verify ownership, then cut and code a new remote or smart key and, where appropriate, remove missing keys from the system.
Will you damage my Audi when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If an exception is unavoidable due to a faulty lock, severe damage, or a specific model constraint, we’ll explain your options before any work begins.
How long does Audi key programming take?
Most replacements and programming are completed in a single visit. Times vary by model, year, and immobiliser system. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when you call.
My Audi says “Key not detected.” What should I do?
Try a fresh battery in the fob and hold the fob near the steering column or start button. If it still fails, there may be a transponder or immobiliser issue. We can diagnose and provide a fix on-site with dealer-level tools.
Can you deactivate a lost or stolen Audi key?
Yes. If supported by your Audi’s system, we can delete missing keys and supply and code new keys so only the authorised remotes will start the car.
Do you cover Audi electric and hybrid models?
We support many Audi e-tron and plug-in hybrid models for unlocking and key programming. Share your exact model and year when you call so we can confirm tooling and process.
