Does anyone know where the wheel lock key is located? Is it with the spare tire? Thxs

Did they come stock with wheel locks? mine didn't, I got some aftermarkets and it was initially in the glove box, but I've since put it with the tools under the rear cargo....

I was not aware the Audis came with one.

In S Africa, this is standard. Probably find your car on bricks in no time otherwise.....

The lock takes the form of one wheel nut bolt on each wheel having a unique shape and cut/grooves, can only be loosened using a matching wrench "key" supplied with the car. Without this key, a normal wheel bolt wrench has no chance of removing it.

Stored in the lower boot along with the toolkit in its own special cutout alongside the cap puller to remove the wheel nut trims.

I forgot that our 01' RX300 had key lock - same as this.

Hi
lost my tire key, where to buy?

They are not all the same. You probably need to contact your dealership.

I think there's a place in the foam that the tools are in, there's a cutout and that's where my key is. It also could be in the box the lugs were in and your old one's are most likly there.

If your wheel locks are Audi branded then your Audi dealer will have them. The key code should be on a sticker stuck beside the PR Sticker in the spare wheel well. This is true if the Audi dealer techs did their due diligence and stuck the sticker where it should be. If you do not have the key code, it will be difficult or next to impossible for the dealer to find out which code fits as there are several variations.

Yep, like about 20. More than there are for roof rack IIRC, which has a similar dilemma if the bolt down wrench gets lost. There is a wheel lock master kit dealers in theory may have that has all the variants in it for use in service. In practice however, last time it came up on one of my Audis for routine service at a fairly high volume servicing dealer, advisor called me to ask where the tool was so they could get the wheels off. I told them: duh, in...the stock location with the tool set...
