Thread: Replacement Key / Remote - Melbourne Locksmith & Coder Required

  1. #21

    You must buy that new key from ebay and cut it down by locksmith, it will cost you much less as compared to the dealer.

    You don't need to buy blank key from ebay or any other sites.This will cost you more , you must hire a Locksmith near you which will provide you blank key and cut it as remote key and then they program it at very reasonable cost.

    In your previous post you said NOT TO BUY from EBay so what are you on about.

    Make up your mind and please realise this is an predominantly AUSTRALIAN forum and what applies with your US models doesnt always apply here

    So I have the blade from my 2015 A3.

    I have tried swapping it to another FOB but it locks the car up. Apparently only authorized guys can encode the used key?

    The key works only in the remote with water damage, if I place that blade in another key - no luck it locks the car up.

    So does anyone know someone that can program the remote?

    I know two guys in Melbourne who do this pretty well, one is Volksaffair (here: European Car & German Cars Service Specialist Melbourne | Volks Affair) and the other is Amlock (here: Locksmith Collingwood | Amalgamated Locksmiths). Heads up, Volksaffair is pricey so I wouldn't go with them unless you're doing something else for your car with them already, so I reckon Amlock is the better of the two if you want to get a fresh key cut for cheap. Most guys do this service but I have a good experience with these guys.

    Can you post some picture of the blade? It's not the actual blade that needs to be changed over, but a small RFID tranceiver inside.

    Well you must contact nearby locksmith for getting the new key. Their cost must be decent and key will be available to you instantly.

    Posting pictures can help to know about the issue and then any locksmith here can resolve by suggesting the ways to resolve it.

    I have bought blank from the ebay and called rochester locksmith to cut and program it. Their charges were so reasonable as compared to other companies.
