🔧 PRO TIP
The 1997 Audi A6 is a C4 platform car running the Megamos ID48 transponder chip inside the key head. The remote side uses FCC ID MYT8Z0837231, part number 4D0837231P, and takes a CR2032 battery. These flip keys are known for cracking at the pivot pin over time. If the blade starts wobbling, the key head can split open and dump the transponder glass capsule right onto the parking lot. Get a spare made while you still have a working one.

1997 Audi A6 Remote Flip Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A graveyard shift pharmacist over in Pleasant Valley Fields called me around 11pm from her condo in Oxnard. Her only key for the A6 had stopped turning the ignition that morning, and she had muscled through it all day by jiggling it. By night, it quit for good.

She was already looking up tow trucks and dealer hours. She figured she'd be without the car until midweek at best.

I told her to stay put. When I got there, I checked the key first. The blade on her 4D0837231P flip key was worn down on both sides, and the pivot pin area had a hairline crack in the housing. The transponder glass capsule was still seated, but barely. One more drop and it would have been a different job.

I cut a fresh blade to the HU66 profile, transferred the ID48 chip into a new shell, and tested it against the immobilizer. Clean start, no hesitation. Then I programmed the remote functions: lock, unlock, trunk, panic. All four buttons on the MYT8Z0837231 responded and the doors cycled correctly.

The whole thing took about 40 minutes in her garage. She stood there watching with a coffee mug, not saying much, just nodding when the engine turned over clean.

No tow. No waiting until Monday for a dealer slot. Just a new key, done on site in Pleasant Valley Fields, for a fraction of what the dealer route would have run her.

“They responded instantly, showed up within an hour, and arrived exactly when they said they would. Made a copy and programmed a fob for my 2014 car with a worn ignition in about 15 minutes. The new key works perfectly and feels like a dealer key.”

Audi A6 Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

Why is replacing a key for my 1997 Audi A6 so expensive at the dealer?
It is not just a metal key. Your A6 uses an ID48 Megamos crypto transponder that has to handshake with the immobilizer control module before the engine will crank. The dealer orders part number 4D0837231P, cuts the HU66 blade, and programs the chip through their VAG diagnostic system. Each step is billed separately: the key blank, the cutting, the programming appointment. Some Audi dealers quote the whole thing out to multiple days because they batch immobilizer work. I do the same job on site, same day, for way less.
What exactly is the remote flip key on my 1997 Audi A6?
How does a mobile locksmith compare to the Audi dealer for a key replacement?
My 1997 A6 key turns but the engine cranks and won't start. Is that the immobilizer?
Can I just buy a key on eBay and program it to my 1997 A6 myself?
