  1. Remote control key with integrated mechanical key
    You can unlock/lock your vehicle with the remote control key. A mechanical key is integrated in the remote control key.
  2. Separate mechanical key
    This key is not intended for constant use. It should only be used in an emergency. Do not carry it on your key ring and do not store it in the vehicle.

Replacing a key

If a key is lost, see an authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility. Have this key deactivated.

It is important to bring all keys with you. If a key is lost, you should report it to your insurance company.

Number of keys

You can check the number of keys assigned to your vehicle in the Infotainment system. Select: the function button > (Car) Systems control button > Service & checks > Programmed keys. This way, you can make sure that you have all the keys when purchasing a used vehicle.

Electronic immobilizer

The immobilizer prevents unauthorized use of the vehicle.

Under certain circumstances, the vehicle may not be able to start if there is a key from a different vehicle manufacturer on the key chain.

Data in the master key

When driving, service and maintenance-relevant data is continuously stored in your remote control key. Your Audi service advisor can read out this data and tell you about the work your vehicle needs. This applies also to vehicles with a convenience key.

Personal convenience settings

If two people use one vehicle, it is recommended that each person always uses "their own" master key. When the ignition is turned off or when the vehicle is locked, personal convenience settings for the following systems are stored and assigned to the remote master key.

  • Climate control system
  • Central locking
  • Windows
  • Interior lighting
  • Memory function
  • Parking aid
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Active lane assist
  • Side assist
  • Drive select
  • Night vision assistant
  • Steering wheel heating

The stored settings are automatically recalled when you unlock the vehicle, open the doors or turn on the ignition.

WARNING

Always take the vehicle key with you when leaving the vehicle, even for a short period of time. This applies particularly when children remain in the vehicle. Otherwise the children could start the engine or operate electrical equipment such as power windows.

Tips

  • The operation of the remote control key can be temporarily disrupted by interference from transmitters near the vehicle working in the same frequency range (such as a cell phone or radio equipment).
  • Using the mechanical key, you can:
    • Lock/unlock the glove compartment.
    • Manually lock/unlock the vehicle.
    • Mechanically lock the doors.
  • For an explanation on conformity with the FCC regulations in the United States and the Industry Canada regulations.
