The new remote needs to be programed into the ECU it can be done with the vag-com as stated above the keys have to be matching numbers. You can also take the key appart take out the immobilizer and switch them to the new remote then you can program it...or hard program by the vag-com as stated above

 

No vag-com.
I'm looking at the key but have no idea which is the immobilizer or how to remove.
Thoughts?

 

Hey I am the guy that was going to buy the S4 from you with that tool that scanned the car.....but at the time the price was out of budget. I have a vag-com come out to our next meet and we will talk

 

Hi
I remember. I'm leaving on the 29th for vacation so won't be able to come next week.
Nov 13th might work, will have to see.
Audi wants $130 to program a remote from scratch so to speak.
I've talked to Pam at Tunedub and they'll do it for way less so I'm going to try that first.
Thanks
PS the car is still for sale and the price has dropped dramatically.

 

Hey guys, Anyone knows how to program a key without going to the dealer? I have a 2006 Audi A4 that will not start. battery was out for some time and now when I replaced my battery my remote work fine, but it will not start my car. thx,Roman

 

If you read this whole thread there are steps on how to do it trough a vag-com

 

Thank you. I was hoping that there is a way to do it without vag-com, but if this is the only way. Any recommendation on where I can buy good and cheap vag-com? thx, Roman

 

does anyone have the capability to program the chip in the key? i got a new key and it works but the car shuts off right away because the chip is not programmed

 

Read the steps above and get someone with a vag-com in your area to help you out

 

You have to program the car to the key, not the other way around.
