Re: Audi A4 1997 Reprogram Single Remote
I got this procedure off of one of the audi web sites, I think. It
worked on my '97 A4. To do this, you will need two keys (but it's OK if you only have one remote). 1. Put one key in the ignition and turn the switch to the "on" position (don't start the car but rotate the key to the position just before you'd activate the starter; the accessories and instrument panel lights will come on). 2. Roll down the driver's window (just in case!). 3. Get out of the car, holding the 2nd key and the remote in your hand. With the 2nd key (don't use a remote), lock the door from the outside, and leave the key in the door. 4. With the remote you're programming, press the button to open the door. Now at this point, the instructions I had said that the door should unlock, and that your remote would then be programmed. On my car, the door did NOT unlock when I did this step. However, once I removed the key in the ignition, the remote worked fine, and has worked well ever since. I bought a remote on ebay after both of mine stopped working, and I was able to program it using this method. Note that the remotes changed from year-to-year, so I don't know whether this would work on a '96 or a '98, but it does work on the '97. Hope this helps, and good luck.

You need one key in the ignition, you need a second key with which to lock the door, and, of course, you need the remote you are programming. |

Here is some hopefully useful information I saved from posts from BSK. BTW I switched my 1997 A4 1.8tq over to a switchblade type remote like this one on ebay item # 270208323411.

It worked on my two-button non-switchblade remote. These were orginally post by someone else, but I had to find it through a search. 1. Put 1 key in the ignition and turn it on. (Don't start the car, just turn it on until the dash lights up. 2. Take the second key and lock the car using the drivers door. 3. Hold BOTH buttons on the remote until the turn signals flash and the door unlocks. It should take about 5 seconds or less. increasing the remote range on pre 99.5 (if the under the chin tip aint working) Posted by: BSK auf Arbeit on 2005-04-02 07:26:51 Account #: 87006 In Reply to: Alarm System posted by BSK auf Arbeit on 2005-04-02 06:36:24 Relocate the antenna that comes out of the box under the rear seat, and thread it up the back of the rear fold down seat. Between the carpeted backing and the seat cushion material. Then across the top a tiny bit so it forms an inverted L shape. The antenna is BLACK and is only attached on one end to the remote locking module. What does this do.... Gives a HUGE range on what was previously believed to be a shitty remote. Its not the parts.... its the poor installation of them. That antenna is used for Frequency Modulation reception, FM is line of site, Line of site doesn't mean Superman's X-ray vision, RF signals don't travel through sheet metal too well. So the antenna being under the rear seat, and atop the gas tank and behind the trunk lid and doors, DOESN'T HELP. This problem has bothered me for so damn long and I am so happy I fixed it. Later cars have the remote locking module integrated into their locking pump which resides in the foam casing in the trunk. Certain years had a technical bulletin applicable on how to use a kit (new antenna) supplied by Audi to increase the range. There may be a way to modify the later cars... however I have yet to experiment with them |

Re: Audi A4 1997 Reprogram Single Remote
I suggest for safety sake that you at least have 2 keys to your vehicle!
If you have a vag-com tool, or access to one, you can program the transmitter/remote with 1 key. I find it easier to program with the 2 keys. ;-) -- later, (One out of many daves) 1997 Red A4 1.8tq auto "caterpillar" <caterpillar.3jl126@no-mx.audiforum.ca> wrote in message news:caterpillar.3jl126@no-mx.audiforum.ca... > > Hi guys i have i problem : i need to reprogram my audi '97 A6 remote > but i have only 1 key is any way that i can do it??? pleeease |
