How Our Audi Service Works
-
Initial call and assessment
Tell us your Audi model, year/plate, fuel type, and the problem (lost key, locked out, fob not working). We’ll provide a free, no-obligation quote and arrange a mobile visit across Maidstone or any ME postcode. -
Mobile arrival and diagnostics
We arrive with fully equipped, dealer-level diagnostics. For programming, we connect via OBD2; for certain immobiliser generations we may use EEPROM data reading for secure pairing. For lockouts, we use non-destructive entry methods to open your Audi without damage, wherever possible. -
Key cutting and coding
Keys are laser-cut on-site to original specifications. We then programme the transponder/smart key to your immobiliser and synchronise remote functions. For lost keys, we can de-authorise old keys so they no longer start the vehicle. -
Testing and handover
We thoroughly test remote locking, boot release, and engine start (including keyless start where applicable). You’ll receive guidance on battery care, spare key options, and warranty details.

FAQs: Audi Keys and Locks
Can you make a new Audi key without the original?
Yes. We can cut and programme a new Audi key even if you’ve lost the original. Using OBD2 diagnostics and, when required, EEPROM/immobiliser data, we generate and code a working key on-site. You’ll need proof of ownership and ID.
Will you damage my Audi when unlocking it?
We specialise in non-destructive entry. For the vast majority of lockouts, we open the vehicle without damage. In rare cases where a lock has failed internally, we’ll explain options and get your approval before any potentially destructive work.
My Audi says “Key not detected.” What should I do?
First, try a fresh battery in the fob and hold the key near the start/backup reader (often near the steering column or marked in the manual). If it still won’t start, there may be a transponder or antenna issue. We can diagnose and resolve this on-site.
How long does Audi key programming take?
Many Audi keys can be programmed within an hour once on-site, depending on model and security generation. All-keys-lost, smart key, or EEPROM jobs may take longer due to security procedures and testing.
Can you disable a lost or stolen Audi key?
Yes. During programming we can de-authorise missing keys so they can no longer start the car. We recommend this for stolen key incidents alongside reprogramming and, if needed, lock repairs.
Do you cover modern 2024/2025 Audi models?
We cover most current platforms and key systems, including many e-tron and latest A/Q models. Contact us with your registration or VIN to confirm.
