How to reprogram a key
 

I found the following: http://www.audiforums.com/m_18741/tm.htm
which sounds potentially very interesting, but I can not understand it.

Is this a procedure to program the remote control wireless or to program
the immobiliser chip? And in the described sequence, which key is the one
being trained and which key is the one which was already married?

The key "could" be programmable but at least it contains a unique
serialnumber. The car is "teached" to accept the this serial number. I doubt
anything ever is "written" to the chip inside the key.

But will this procedure work if you have an immobiliser? When I got a new
key the dealer had to use a "VAG Tool" to read a code from the car, send the
code to Germany, wait for a replay by fax and then put the code he got from
Germany into the "VAG Tool".

The cheaper way is to have the key cloned, then the car thinks the key is
one of the original keys, the dealer will not tell you this can be done he
will just tell you they have to get the key laser cut from the factory, have
it shipped to your dealer, then the dealer programs it to your car, cost
£120+ in the UK, luckily when I enquired about this at my dealer they wanted
my vehicle log book & proof of identity before they would sell me a key,
even though I had driven the car in, luckily a friend directed me to a local
key specialist who cut me a key & cloned the chip while I waited, 10
miniutes it took & was only £29.99
