Quick question... Are the 'Bentley' keys able to be read and data downloaded off them with the docking station things which Audi have on each of their service desks in a dealer?

Talked to Craig - he said
"Really not sure. I've never heard of any info being stored on a normal D2 remote key. Maybe some of the newer models do but unsure about older models like D2"

I think surely that the key just indents itself to the car and the car itself has things like seat settings and steering wheel position for each key in its own memory somewhere and just says "ahh key 1" and sets itself up for key 1 etc

Obviously D3 keys do so I assumed D2 keys also did and thus the Bentley keys might.

I'd love to replace my main key too, but was there ever an answer on whether Craig was able to upgrade the D3 key to the newer style?

I'm also in West London.

I'm talking to craig about coming to our annual meet again so I will ask the question. I know it's possible with a very similar key and also that he tried to look at it before for me on a couple of our cars but advanced key meant the interiors of the key weren't the same.

I'll have another chat and report back soon
