Is the remote key fob interchangeable with any other year/model on the A6? I have one that came with my car (97) but it is really beat up and worn so badly that I'd like to get a better one. Unfortunately all the ones I see online for my year are in just as bad of shape. I suppose maybe I could get one from the dealer, but not looking to spend a fortune. I believe the correct part number for mine is MZ2 410 819 4.

That number is the FCC radio number..good to have but not the Audi part number.

Audi can get you a new switchblade key with it cut and then you program the controller..easy enough..and about $125

I did that with one of my cars..expensive

On my other Audi..I got a repair kit off ebay and cut out the touch pad on my fob and using some plastic super glue..made a pretty good repair. Got to look carefully as the repair touch pad goes on one way and the super glue grabs almost instantly. If you go that route.

Or you could order a new remote from the bay and program it too.

Many Audi cars from the late 90s and early 2000s used that radio control number.

I presume you have a two button remote..about $5 for a repair pad.

Hmm.. I searched on here before I posted but didn't find that info. Good to know... thanks for the update. Also searched on eBay, but used the radio ID- got some hits, but no repair kits... I'll look again. The autohausaz part looks promising as well.. Thanks again.

The switchblade key idea is also good. My current key isn't. I have 2 keys- one just "plain" and one with the light on it. I don't use that one because the battery holder is worn and won't stay closed.

Yes, I have the 2 button version, no key, with the panic button on the top edge opposite the key ring..
