Matt 2134 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hi All Just joined, having bought a gorgeous used A7 (my first) a couple of months ago. It only came with one key, and although the (non-audi) dealer has been good enough to order me a second radio key, I now need to get it programmed - does it need to be done by the audi dealer or is there a way I can do it myself? I assume a dealer will charge me a crazy amount to plug it in and add a key to the memory... Many thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hi Matt welcome to the forum :) You'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) If you have the second key and just need it programing then Audi will probably charge you around £100. This needs to be done by Audi I believe. To order a brand new key and have it programmed it would cost you around £300! Hope IV helped and glad your pleased with your a7 :) they are lovely cars :) Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 2134 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thanks for this Steve! £100 seems a lot, but better than not having a spare. The cars are awesome - I have had a Q5 before, but this is my first 7 and I think it's stunning - I got the 3.0 TDI with whatever it is they call the sequential manual and the tech pack, and it's an incredible car for what I paid for it - I was about to pull the trigger on a BMW 530 GT, but the spec on the A7 plus the quattro blows it away! Thanks for the advice Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice Matt Audi do charge a lot but I guess they know it's something that is high in demand! £100 is a rough figure. I mean when I worked for Volkswagen in a service department it would cost from £55 upwards. Oh the a7 is far better than the bmw. Better lines and better drivetrain in my opinion. But. I also feel the a7 is more premium than the bmw. I'm honestly not being biased as I have also worked at a car supermarket so I have driven a wide range! You're most welcome :) Please keep us posted on how you get on :) Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky111 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Hi Matt, when I bought my A7 in May only 1 key worked - to have another programmed both keys have to be done. My local(ish) Audi dealer did it for me in about 20 mins once booked in and cost £59.00 Hope this helps, Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's nice to see it's roughly the same :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 2134 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 That's good news, seems more reasonable - I'll report back when I get a price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
