2010 Audi A6 Remote Flip Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Silver Strand is quiet at night. It is a narrow strip of beach community in Oxnard, one street deep on most of it, and the garages sit right against the sidewalk. When somebody calls me out there after 10pm, it is almost always a single-key situation.

She was a graveyard shift pharmacist. Her 2010 A6 was parked in the garage, one key to her name, and that key had stopped being recognized. The fob just sat there doing nothing. No remote response, and the car was not acknowledging it at all. She had already looked up a tow company and then looked up dealer hours and done the math on how many days she would be without a vehicle. She was not happy about the answer.

I told her to stay put.

I was out there within the hour. The garage was bright enough to work in, which helps. I connected to the OBD port, ran the key-learning sequence through my diagnostic equipment, and enrolled the replacement flip key to the car's immobilizer. The folding blade was cut to her vehicle before I arrived, so once the programming handshake completed, I tested it: remote lock, remote unlock, the remaining buttons, and then started the car twice to confirm the transponder was reading cleanly.

The whole thing happened in her own garage, on her schedule, without a tow.

She mentioned what the dealer had quoted her the last time she asked about a spare. The number made the job I did that night feel like a rounding error by comparison.
