Hi, My 2015 Q5 was totaled and I purchased another new-2-me 2015 Q5.
However, the new-2-me Q5 came with only one key fob.

I happen to still have the spare key fob from the totaled Q5.
I realize a key smith will need to create a duplicate hard key for the old spare but

How can this old spare remote be programmed to work on the new-2-me Q5?

 

Need to go to a dealer for this. It needs to be coded to the immobilizer which even a tool like VCDS cannot do.

 

To program the spare key fob from your old Q5 to work with your new Q5, you'll likely need to follow a procedure that involves reprogramming the remote to synchronize it with your new vehicle. Before attempting to program the key fob, ensure you have all the necessary information, including the model year and specific instructions for your vehicle. You may find this information in the owner's manual or by contacting a dealership. Depending on the vehicle model and year, there may be a specific procedure to access the programming mode for the key fob. This often involves inserting and removing the key from the ignition a certain number of times or pressing a combination of buttons on the remote and the vehicle. Once in programming mode, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer or the dealership. This typically involves pressing buttons on the existing key fob and the new key fob in a specific sequence within a certain timeframe. After completing the programming sequence, test the newly programmed key fob to ensure it functions correctly. Test functions such as locking, unlocking, and activating the panic alarm to verify that the remote is working as intended. Once you've verified that the key fob is working properly, exit programming mode according to the instructions provided. This may involve turning the ignition off or removing the key from the ignition.

 

Thanks ChatGPT! Could AI mean the end of the internet? It's already a small pile of steaming poop. Looks to be getting bigger.

 

The local Audi dealer said cant be done, ie. reprogram an old key to match
and quoted an incredibly outrageous price for a new duplicate key and programming
