2004 Audi S4 Remote Flip Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Over in the College neighborhood in Ventura, a software engineer called me from the parking lot outside his office building. He'd watched his Audi flip key drop through a storm drain grate right at the curb. He was in the middle of a product launch -- standup at 9, client demo at 3 -- and he had exactly one window where he could step outside without the whole day falling apart.

He found me on his phone while standing over the drain.

I got there at lunch. The 2004 S4 was sitting exactly where he left it, locked, key gone. I pulled up the immobilizer data through the OBD port, identified the registered keys on file, and got to work programming a replacement flip key. Cut the blade on site to match his lock, registered the transponder, then tested all four remote buttons and confirmed the car started cleanly before I handed it over.

He was back at his desk before his afternoon demo. His car never moved.

The dealer process for something like this on a 2004 Audi involves calling service, waiting for an appointment, arranging a tow since the car has no working key, ordering the key -- sometimes from overseas if the part isn't stateside -- and coming back for a programming appointment once it arrives. That's a multi-day ordeal at minimum, and that's when everything goes smoothly. His car sat in a parking lot for about 45 minutes total. That gap between what the dealer process looks like and what the actual job requires is why I do this mobile.
