The Audi immobiliser and what it means for your key
Audi vehicles use the VAG Immobiliser (shared with VW). Because the immobiliser and the key must recognise each other, cutting a blade alone is never enough. The key has to be paired to your specific vehicle. Consequently Urban Locksmith programs on site rather than simply cutting metal. Newer Audis frequently need dealer-level access. Consequently we check coverage before promising a roadside fix.
What usually goes wrong on a Audi
Comfort-access modules and worn emergency blades come up, though the encrypted side is the constraint.
What a Audi job usually involves
Newer Audis frequently need dealer-level access, so we check first. Newer Audis increasingly need dealer-level access, and we would rather tell you that on the phone than at the roadside.
