Switchblade Programing
Hi all!
Real old newbie that's been lurkin', searchin' and generally enjoyin' the action on these two (A6 & S4) forums. Having been an Audi owner for about 30 years, I have owned some of the best and worst examples that this marquee has produced. Current Quattro count is four. Anyway you do the math; I qualify as an old f---. I'm still an instructor at the local Quattro, oops; I mean Audi, Club track events and enjoy hot laps. I have a few issues and rants that I intend express in the near future with the promise that I will do the obligatory search first. My first test for these knowledgeable groups is how do I fool my '02 S4 into believing that my wife's '00 A6 switchblade remote should let her in? Locking or unlocking the car with the key and then pressing the lock/unlock button on the "new" remote doesn't do it.
Has anybody actually successfully programmed a new switch blade remote in a car that has two active remotes already in place? How did you do it? TIA!

How about using the new key activation procedure?
I have found this procedure somewhere on this site before. It requires having the good key in the ignition switch but I don't remember the procedure. Maybe you could do a search or someone may respond who know how to do this. Sorry I am not of more help.

Re: It worked!
After screwing around, I found that the two keys used in the reprogramming plan need to be master keys and that one master and one valet key will not work. Also, if you want to keep your original two switch blades in the system, the unlock button pressing operation in step 3 of the programming sequence needs to be comprised of three or four presses. Each press of the unlock button will result in a flash of the car's lights. I was adding only one switchblade so I did not get a chance to confirm the fourth position but I have heard that the system can support up to four switchblades. As the final test of the "new" system, I locked and then unlocked both cars in the garage and, keeping the unlock button depressed, simultaneously rolled down eight windows! Such power!
Thanks for the help!
