2007 Audi A3 Remote flip key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
The OEM versus aftermarket question on 2007 Audi A3 keys deserves a direct answer. OEM Audi keys come from the factory supplier. They have the four-ring logo on the back, the exact factory housing, and cost significantly more because of the brand premium. Aftermarket keys use the same HU66 blade profile, same chip type, same button layout, and same circuit board design. The functional difference in daily use is zero if the aftermarket blank is quality.
A marketing consultant at the coworking space in Oxnard near Pleasant Valley area asked me straight whether the key would be "dealer quality." She had a 2007 Audi A3 and wanted a spare she could use daily, not just a backup she hid in a drawer.
I carry aftermarket blanks tested across hundreds of Audi and VW jobs. The blade is the same HU66 profile cut to spec on my machine. The transponder chip is the same Megamos generation that the immobilizer expects. I used my HU66 Lishi to decode her door lock for the cut, then programmed the chip through OBD. Her fob, FCC ID NBG009272T, was a 4-button smart key, and the aftermarket housing has the same button feel, same weight, same snap-together fit. The difference is no four-ring logo and about $150 less out of pocket.
Her total was 243 for a quality aftermarket key. The dealer charges 462 for the OEM version. I test every batch of blanks before they go in the van.
