2018 Audi A3 Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Do you need to tow your 2018 Audi A3 to the dealer? Probably not. For most Audi models from the mid-2000s flip keys through the mid-2010s smart keys, I handle all-keys-lost right at the car. No tow. No dealer. No leaving the car somewhere for days.
A graveyard shift pharmacist at her condo complex in Encinitas had her only key die at home around 11pm. Her A3 was parked in the garage with a smart key system and no fob that the car would detect. She assumed a tow was the only path. She started looking up costs and dealer hours and realized she would be without a car for most of the week.
I told her to stay home. I connected my Smart Pro to the OBD port and ran the Audi smart key AKL procedure. The Smart Pro walks through the security sequence, reads the PIN, clears old key data, and learns new fobs to the immobilizer. Her Key, FCC ID , was a 3-button smart key with comfort access. I programmed it in her condo garage at 11pm.
Her total was $95. The dealer would have been $200 plus the tow. There are some newer Audi platforms with encrypted BCM2 modules where AKL requires bench work and takes longer. And a small number of the latest models are still dealer-only. But for the majority of Audis on the road, I do all-keys-lost on-site regularly.

“I had two Subaru key fobs made and Marco provided excellent service. He stayed persistent through multiple part orders to make sure everything was correct. Very thorough, punctual, and great communication throughout.”
“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
