How Our Audi Auto Locksmith Service Works
We combine specialist training with dealer-level equipment to resolve Audi key, lock, and immobiliser problems quickly and safely.
- Assessment and access
- We confirm your Audi model, year, and symptoms.
- If you’re locked out, we use non-destructive entry techniques first, such as professional Lishi picks on VAG locks.
- Rare exceptions: If a lock is severely damaged or an aftermarket security device is fitted, minimal drilling may be the only option. We’ll explain clearly and obtain your approval before any such work.
- Cutting a new Audi key
- We cut precision HU66/HU162T laser keys using high-accuracy electronic key cutting machines.
- For broken blades, we can replace the key blade and reuse a working fob where appropriate.
- Programming and immobiliser pairing
- We use OBD2 diagnostic tools and EEPROM programming methods where required to programme transponder chips and remotes.
- Our kit supports modern Audi immobiliser systems (IMMO 4/5, MQB platforms) and Advanced Key/proximity functions.
- Lost or stolen keys can be deauthorised so they can’t start your car.
- Diagnostics and testing
- Dealer-level diagnostics ensure the key, remote locking, immobiliser, and dash indicators (e.g., key symbol) are all correct.
- We test lock/unlock, boot release, and engine start on completion.
- Handover and guarantee
- You’ll receive clear guidance on key care and any further steps.
- All new keys and our workmanship are backed by warranty for your peace of mind.

Audi Auto Locksmith FAQs
Can a locksmith make an Audi car key without the original?
Yes. Using your VIN, door/ignition locks, and specialist diagnostics, we can cut and programme a new Audi key without the original. We pair the transponder and remote to your immobiliser so the engine starts and the central locking works.
How long does it take to get a new Audi key?
Timing depends on model, year, and key type. Many replacements are completed during a single mobile visit. We avoid dealer wait times by cutting and programming keys on site wherever possible.
My Audi says “Key Not Detected.” What should I do?
First, try a fresh fob battery and hold the fob near the steering column or designated backup start area (varies by model). If it still won’t start, we can test the fob, antenna ring, and immobiliser, then re-synchronise or programme a new key if needed.
Can you reprogramme a used Audi key fob?
Usually not for modern Audis. Many fobs become locked to the original vehicle once coded. In most cases we supply new OEM-grade keys and programme them correctly to your car.
What happens if my Audi key blade snaps?
We can extract the broken piece from the door or ignition and cut a new laser blade. If the remote electronics are fine, we can often fit them into a new shell with a fresh blade.
Do you operate evenings and weekends for emergencies?
Yes. If you’re locked out or stranded, call us. We provide emergency support across North London and the N postcode area, with efficient dispatch.
Will you damage my Audi when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive methods wherever possible, such as professional picking techniques. If exceptional damage or previous tampering prevents this, we’ll explain options and costs before proceeding.
Will my insurance cover lost Audi keys?
Some UK policies include key cover or an add-on. Check your documents or speak to your insurer. We can provide invoices for claims where applicable.
