2012 Audi A5 Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A shop in Santee, right near Carlton Hills, had a 2012 Audi A5 up on the lift with the wheels pulled. The owner had dropped the customer's only key off at the counter, it slid off the pegboard, and went straight into a floor drain. Car on the lift, no key, customer due back in two hours.
The shop owner called me while I was already out in the area.
When I got there, the situation was simple enough: one key lost, car immobile, clock running. I pulled the immobilizer PIN through the OBD port using my VAG-capable diagnostic setup, generated a replacement transponder, and cut a new blade to match. The whole process stayed under thirty minutes because the 2012 A5 sits in an older immobilizer generation where PIN extraction through OBD is a clean, stable process. No bench work, no module removal, no tow.
The shop got the wheels back on. The customer picked up the car on time and had no idea anything had gone sideways.
The dealer would have needed the car towed in, scheduled a tech, and had the customer waiting days. The shop owner saved his customer a serious headache, and I was back on the road before the lift even came down.

Happy customers who saved hundreds
“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”
“My car keys were stolen on a cold evening and Nick drove all the way out to Santa Barbara. He got into my car, made a new key, and charged $100 less than another company. Friendly, skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Nick is a hero.”
“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”
