How the Audi immobiliser works
Shares the VAG immobiliser families — IMMO4 on older A3 and A4, IMMO5 on MQB and later platforms. Q5 and larger models often use a keyless proximity system on top.
Can you cut a Audi key with none left?
Possible on most, but MQB all-keys-lost needs component security extraction first. Newer models with advanced keyless entry take longer again.
What usually goes wrong on a Audi
- Flip-key hinges and worn blades on older A3 and A4
- Keyless fobs failing after water damage
- Ignition switch faults on high-mileage cars
What you will need
We verify ownership on every job without exception. It is mildly inconvenient once, and it is the reason nobody else can have a key cut to your Audi.
