replacement keys ...again !
 

for the usual reason am down to one remote key for the 2000FL !
have acquired an OE remote and fitted it with a blank blade and virgin ID48 transponder
naturally I don't have the PIN !

am I correct in saying that to get the programmed there are still only 2 choices

go to the audi agent , think 60KM and double the uk price

take the car to a car locksmith with the kit to extract the PIN and code the transponder ..think 120Km and who knows what price

any comments ?

Yes that's correct, and there are also a limited number of keys that can be coded to the car, something like 8 I believe. Try Craig Nettleton on 07900 600548 he travels all around the country and comes to you in his van and has the coding extraction equipment etc he may be able to help

would he charge extra to come to the south of france where I live ?

Ah well if you'd entered your location on your profile then it would appear at the top of each post and I'd have known!! My psychic powers don't run that far lol.
I guess not but do phone him for advice and he'll try to help. +++

wonder if the audi agent gives you a new pin if he does the job !

The easiest way is to find a trustworthy locksmith to do the job for you. Otherwise, you can search an eBay for one

Holy post revival Batman!

Can the pin not be extracted with something like VAG Tacho or similar?
