Try C7 A6 board for a 2015; this is last generation A8 board. Short version will be duplicate keys that actually work and cheap for anything Audi (or many other vehicles these days) are a non-intersection.

I'd call your local Batteries + Bulbs. The larger stores make & program these types of keys at a reasonable price.

The Ann Arbor, Michigan location can.
As I mentioned, some locations can. Not all though.

It IS possible to get a duplicate key made for your Audi.

I just bought a 2009 Q5 with just one key, so I needed a duplicate. According to all of the threads I searched, it wasn't possible unless you visited a dealer and paid $500.
However, I searched Google and saw that a few local car key businesses advertised Audi among their capabilities. So I called today and was quoted less than $300, all inclusive (fob programming and key cutting) by 2 of them. I picked one, went, and was done in 10 minutes... literally!!!

I was told by the business, "not everyone can, but I can." Good news for me.

Try Other dealerships.

I went to my local Dealership (Momentum Audi in Houston) to have my keys reprogrammed because some of them where not working.

I was told that there was no charge for reprogramming. I am not sure if they have changed their policy.

Felt guilty so I purchased a couple of extra FOB's. They charged me about $250 each.

Thought $250 was a little steep but I later found out that chevy fobs cost about the same.
