Check this link out. You don't need two remotes, but you do need two working keys. I believe even the valet key will work as long as you can turn the ignition cylinder.

The quickest way would be to go to the local Audi agency and see if they have, or can order, another key for you. I assume the Avant estate is a model normally sold in New Zealand.

Some non US cars have immobilizers, so if your car is one of them the dealer will need to sync all your keys.
