2012 Audi A3 Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Here is exactly what happens when I replace a 2012 Audi A3 key. Step one, I verify your identity and vehicle ownership. Step two, I decode the lock and cut the blade so the mechanical side is perfect. Step three, I connect my diagnostic tool to the OBD port and access the immobilizer module. Step four, I read the security PIN and run the key registration sequence. Step five, I test the new key. Not just "does it start." I test every button, the remote range from 30 feet away, the lock and unlock, the trunk, the comfort access if equipped, and the push-to-start. Step six, I test the start three times in a row to confirm no intermittent faults.
A high school tennis coach at the tennis club in Alpine on a Saturday afternoon watched me work on his A3 and said the testing was the part he did not expect. He thought I would hand him the key and leave. Instead I walked to the far end of the parking lot pressing buttons, then came back and started the car three times in a row.
I used my VVDI Prog to pull the cluster data and my VVDI2 for the key programming. His fob, FCC ID , was a 3-button smart key. Every button confirmed. Range confirmed. Three clean starts confirmed.
That testing process is the same on every job and it is included in the $95 I charge. Dealers charge $200 and some skip the testing entirely.

What certified service looks like in reviews
“My ignition would not turn in La Jolla and I thought I needed a tow. EZ Car Keyz repaired the ignition on the spot and also made a spare key for safety. The technician worked carefully and confidently.”
“Niv showed up, did his thing, and just like that I had two new keys for a fraction of what the dealership quoted. I have zero reservations recommending him to anyone who needs car keys replaced.”
“We had one broken key for our Honda Civic and one working key for our Lexus. Tim came out and cut three remote car keys at a great price. All keys worked perfectly. Professional, courteous, and highly recommended.”
