Default different key fobs?

I just realized that the 2 key fobs I got were different (on the back side). Is this same case with yours? Any difference in functionality between the two?

This has been discussed extensively in this and the B9 A4 forums.
Since each key can store different settings for different drivers - they're slightly different so that you can tell them apart.
(they're actually different on the front also - look close )

Something that will help with that (assuming they have Amazon in New Zealand ) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I picked up a couple. Definitely cheaper than the ones some people here were getting from EBay ($40+). They ship from China but delivery was fairly quick - sooner than quoted. Not real crazy about the red stitching but they're constructed well & serve the purpose.

Yes, the fob with the shiny bits makes your Q7 go faster...extra 50hp I think
