Is there any way to program the remote key without going to my Audi dealer?
Thanks

You don't say which car you have, but mine is something like push the remote button, then use the key to unlock the driver's door.

Thank you very much....I'll try !
JPF - 06 Oct 2003 23:04 GMT Try this, it's from the Bentley:
Programming new remote controls Two keys and all the remote controls that are to be programmed will be needed. The maximum number of remote controls that can be programmed, including old and new, is four. - Insert first key into ignition switch, and turn it to "ignition on."
- Insert second key into outer door handle, and turn it to unlocked position for 10 seconds. System alarm will emit three beeps. - Take first remote control to be programmed and press button -1-, two beeps will be emitted. For second remote control, press button -1-, two beeps will be emitted. Use same procedure to program third or fourth remote control. All remote controls must be programmed within one minute, otherwise new programming will cancel and old remote control programming will be valid. - Turn key in outer door handle to unlocked position for 10 seconds, one beep will be emitted. - Switch ignition off.

I wonder the following procedure applies to 2003 A4, I have tried you procedure but unable to get any result, it is because the alarm does no emit the beep !
Please advise !

dave AKA vwdoc1 - 03 Jan 2008 12:43 GMT maybe using a vag-com tool is needed in your case. http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/vw-remote-matching.html (You can also do more with your remote like raise or lower windows too!) I need to try this on my 1997 A4! <g>
does the alarm ever sound or work?
None of your remotes work? Got new batteries in them?
did you erase the memory? http://fobs4less.com/audi_keyless_remote_programming_.htm

Stephen - 04 Jan 2008 23:02 GMT Hi Dave,
The alarm is working fine, I am able to operate all functions of th remote control with the second master key. Only the first master key i not working after replacing battery. I have called the dealer twic about this, first time they said the procedures to reset the remote i indicating in the manual, after I read the manual, I found that th description are too simple and unworkable. I called the dealer again then they said it has to be resetted through their computer !!

dave AKA vwdoc1 - 05 Jan 2008 14:37 GMT Well from my very limited experience, I bought two switchblades from the same ebay auction and I only got one of them to work with my 1997 A4 along with an original 1997 remote (non-switchblade). I used the 2 key method and it worked and I will assume even though I put new batteries in the remote that did not work, it is probably a bad remote. :-(
Maybe you have a bad remote, but did it work before changing batteries? Are you sure that good batteries are installed correctly?
I have read about 4 or more ways to reprogram remote. http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=12981 Seems to depend on either how long you hold it to the lock position with the second key, or how many times you do it within a certain amount of time. Find one of these methods that work for you and post your successful method. ;-)
Or find someone with a vag-com tool, erase all remotes and reprogram all. ;-) There are some auto part stores in the USA that have scanners that will tell you if your remote is working. AutoZone is one of them that keeps the scanner by the new batteries for the remotes. Of course they may not have a battery to fit your Audi remote, but the dealer may have one at a competitive price.

You will need to 'pair' the keys together but I don't know whether you can use the newer model key or not with your A3.
There are plenty of details online on how to reprogramme the key to work on your car. I have had to do this myself and it works fine.
I believe there are two ways to reprogramme, one that has to be done by Audi and one that you can do yourself.
