2013 Audi S5 Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Worn flip keys on older Audis are one of the calls where the dealer quote and the actual fix are completely different jobs. The 2005 through 2010 Audi flip key has a HU66 blade that pivots out of a plastic housing with 3 or 4 remote buttons. After years of pocket carry and daily use, the flip pivot wears out, the blade gets loose, the rubber buttons go soft, and eventually the key barely holds together. The dealer wants to sell a brand new key, cut and programmed from scratch. That runs $200. Most of the time the Megamos transponder chip and remote electronics inside are perfectly fine. The customer just needs a new shell and a fresh blade.
A pharmaceutical rep at the tire shop in Rancho Santa Fe had a 2013 Audi S5 with a flip key so worn the blade would not lock into position. She was holding it closed with her thumb every time she started the car. The dealer told her it was a full replacement.
I used my VVDI Key Tool to verify the transponder data was still good, then swapped the chip and remote board into a new flip shell and cut a fresh HU66 blade. The VVDI Key Tool reads the Megamos chip code and confirms it matches what the car expects, so I know the swap will work before I hand it back. Her fob, FCC ID , had 3 buttons including trunk release.
She paid $95 for the shell swap and fresh blade. The dealer wanted $200 for a full key when only the housing was worn. The chip inside an Audi flip key can outlast several shells.

“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.”
“Very professional and extremely affordable. The price was literally about three times cheaper than what my dealership quoted me. Fast service and no stress at all. Highly recommend.”
“A friend lost my Lexus key and he was able to program and cut a brand new one within 20 minutes. Arrived within about 40 minutes and was friendly, efficient, and quick.”
