Default Keyless entry programming help.

Hello all members. Can some one help me find an article, I remember seeing before in the old FAQ, about programming remotes for key-less entry? I have a 1996 A4 Quattro and I misplaced the remote. I was thinking of ordering one from ebay, but I need the instructions to program it without going to the dealer. I remember reading somewhere there was way to program the older remotes without going to the dealer.

I did find a related article in the tech section but I don't think it applies to my older A4 without switch-blade keys.

If someone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
