Replacement key
Hi:
We have a 2002 TT. We lost one of the keys, and would, of course, like to have at least two. The dealer is at least an hour away, and requires two visits, and 300.00 to set this up.
Are there any alternatives?
Thanks

You can buy a new key FOB on Ebay/Amazon for like $20. If you have 1 working key then you can program a second key.
1. Put good working key in ignition, turn key to accessory, close door.
2. Take 2nd (unprogrammed) key, lock driver door with it, take key out of door.
3. Press unlock button on 2nd key. Lights on car should flash.
4. Wait 6 seconds, press unlock button again.
Key should now be programmed.
(I'm not sure if this works for all MK1 TT's, might only work for 2000-2002's. Can anyone confirm? I have a 2001 and this is the procedure I used and it works for me.)

I don't know much about keys and locks, but you have to have the key cut to fit the lock for starters. You can't just buy a blank key and have it fit the ignition. Programming or reprogramming the key is a different issue.

Yes that is true, after buying a 2nd $20 key on Amazon, you would need to get it cut. Here locally in my area at a locksmith it costs about $40 to copy an Audi key.
