Hey all.

Question for 97 A8 owners. Do you have the fold/switchblade key fob or the conventional fixed key?

thanks!

Conventional fixed key with remote control (3 buttons). Had to order a new key recently, there was no folding key available.

I got my '98 A-6 in October of 1997 and it had a switchblade key. That must have been when they made the change.

Lots of changes in '98 and '00 model years.

Hey guys,

Just some info that i'd like to pass on... the 1997 A8 did not have the switchblade key yet.. it wasn't available until 1998. However, the previous owner of my car had bought one switchblade key and coded it to the car. When I purchased it last week, the dealer was gracious enough to provide me with an additional switchblade key. So, for you 97 A8 guys out there, you can purchase the switchblade and code it to work with the 97 model.
