2012 Audi S5 Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A guy in North Park called me from the parking lot of his gym off 30th. He had just picked up a used 2012 Audi S5 from a private seller. Good shape, solid deal, one key. The seller had mentioned getting a spare "at some point." He finally looked into it and called the Audi dealer first. The number they quoted him landed hard. He had just started a new job, fresh out of school, and he was still in that window where every big purchase stings.
He found me through a search and asked point-blank if what the dealer quoted was normal. I told him it was. Audi dealers price their key work at Audi dealer rates. That is just the reality. But I can do the same job, the same cut, the same programming, for a fraction of what they wanted, because I am running a mobile operation out of a van, not a service department with a parts department markup and an appointment backlog.
I met him in the lot before he went in for his workout. The S5 from this era uses a proximity fob with a transponder that has to be enrolled into the vehicle's immobilizer. I brought my diagnostic gear, pulled his VIN, confirmed the security configuration, and got to work. Reading the existing key's data first is the move on these because it tells you exactly what you are registering against. Cut the new blade to the vehicle, enrolled the new fob, verified both keys started the car before I packed up.
He had two working keys by the time he finished warming up. The second key also changes his future situation entirely. If he ever loses one down the road, that is an add-a-key job. Without a spare, it becomes all-keys-lost, which is a longer process and costs more. That part did not cost him extra. It was just the right way to leave the job.
The dealer quote was for one key. He paid me less than half of that for two.
