If your Audi key isn't working properly, whether due to physical damage or electronic malfunctions the locksmith becomes your trusted tech-savvy friend. Locksmiths offer a cost-effective alternative to dealerships, providing prompt response times and affordable solutions.
A local locksmith can cut and program a new key on-site, saving you the time and cost of waiting in the dealership.
Transponder Keys
Transponder keys are basically microchips that send a unique digital code from the key to the vehicle. This code matches the serial number on the car's computer. The vehicle will not start unless this match is made. This technology has helped to reduce the number of car thefts.
The majority of cars manufactured in the past 20 years are fitted with this amazing technology. However, if you own an older vehicle, it is still possible to have transponder keys. Beishir Lock and Security can cut keys and program the chip for you at less than the cost of a dealership.
This technology was developed to prevent car theft. Before this, thieves would simply connect two wires on the ignition switch of the car to switch it on. Transponder technology stops this from happening because the vehicle won't start when the correct code isn't sent to the immobilizer system.
The chip can be used to open doors and trunks without having to press an button. These "smart" Audi fobs have proximity sensors that will activate when the owner is within just a few feet of the vehicle. The sensor will transmit a signal to the vehicle to allow trunks and doors to open and lock.
Transponder systems can be difficult for some to diagnose. If the key will not start the reason is usually caused by a damaged battery. G28CarKeys can be used to replace the battery, however, most people prefer a professional to complete it. This way, they can guarantee the job is done properly and swiftly.
If you have an transponder key and wish to have it replaced, it is always best to choose a locksmith who offers mobile services. They can create keys on site while you are waiting. This is also more convenient than having to go to the dealer and wait for your car taken to their workshop.
Side Cut Keys
We can cut a standard key that can open the doors and start your engine for less than a dealer. We also have laser cut keys, which have an elongated central groove that runs the length of the key, which allows it to be inserted into the lock from either direction. The metal cuts of the laser cut keys are stronger and more durable than the standard cut key.
Dealerships
In the realm of replacing car keys, Audi customers are faced with a classic problem. While the allure of brand loyalty may prove attractive, dealership costs and unexpected charges can turn the process into an expensive process.
Audi has introduced a program that allows for on-the spot key replacements with a local locksmith in order to ease the issue. These discreet heroes transform the stress of losing keys into a quick and stress-free solution. Their speed and ease of use make them a valuable resource for Audi owners.
It doesn't matter if you accidentally set your keys on the counter at the coffee shop while you're ordering your drink, or if your Audi keys were stolen, losing your vehicle key is always a pain.

While Audi has been using transponder key technology since the early 1990s they have continued to tighten security systems as time passes. These transponders are more sophisticated and offer a higher level of security than keys found in other vehicles and are therefore more difficult to steal. In addition to the traditional side-cut blade, Audi transponder keys have an unique PIN required to program them. A professional locksmith can cut keys with the same precision and quality as a dealer, however they cannot program it into your car without the code.
