Default Lost my keys and looks like my second set has not been coded for my car. Help!
A while back Audi replaced my instrument cluster and did not recode my extra keys. I lost my original set tonight and need to code the second set to the car so I can drive it. Any way to do this short of towing my car to the dealership?

Default Wow....That's not good....I hope you figure it out....Take some comfort in knowing that I have
learned from your misfortune and will have my dealership recode my spare keys...Instrument cluster just replaced and they never asked about my spare...

Default Do you not have the valet or wallet key? Those should work too
My TT came with 4 keys. Two with fobs... one stick and one wallet key. All will unlock and start the car.

Default Doesn't the valet key only let you drive it up to a certain speed?
Houston is a big city and getting the car across town safely may be a problem.

Default Valet keys? LIMITED SPEED? woh! Thats new!
I had been using valet keys all the time. Nothing abnormal I would say. Anyone knows whats the speed limit for valet key?

Default Sorry. That's just wishful thinking ...
Probably confused with talk of 'valet mode' setting some chip makers (e.g., APR) offer.

Default D'oh! Too late. Audi already towed the car to dealer. Keys getting recoded right now.
Turns out the valet key wasn't coded correctly either.

On the other hand, Audi Roadside Service rocks.
