When You Need An Audi Auto Locksmith

Audi keys and immobiliser systems are advanced, and when something goes wrong it can leave you stranded. Common situations we handle every day across South West London include:

  • Lost car keys or stolen Audi keys and no spare
  • Locked keys in the car or boot
  • Audi key fob not responding or intermittently working
  • Car won’t start, key symbol on dash, or “key not detected”
  • Broken or damaged Audi flip key, or key blade snapped
  • Key stuck in ignition or door; broken ignition key extraction
  • Central locking problems or a faulty door lock/boot lock
  • Need a spare Audi key before a long trip or for a second driver

If any of these sound familiar, we’ll diagnose and fix the issue on the spot with specialist Audi tooling, OBD2 diagnostics, and programming equipment designed for modern immobiliser systems.

Audi Car Key Replacement In South West London

Losing your only Audi key is stressful, but you don’t need to tow your vehicle to a dealer. Our mobile units cut and program new Audi keys at your location—home, work, roadside—anywhere in South West London.

What we offer:

  • Full key replacement for most Audi models, including A1, A3, A4, A5, A6, Q2, Q3, Q5, Q7, TT, and e-tron
  • Remote key fobs and smart/proximity keys for push-to-start models
  • High-security laser cut car keys and flip key repair
  • Key blade replacement where the electronics are fine but the blade is worn or snapped
  • Deactivation of lost or stolen keys for your security

If your immobiliser requires advanced pairing, we use dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2 key programming, and, where necessary for certain models and years, EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming to complete the job securely and correctly.

Audi Key Programming And Diagnostics

Modern Audi keys contain a transponder chip that speaks to your car’s immobiliser. If the chip isn’t recognised, the car won’t start. We provide:

  • Transponder key programming and remote key programming
  • Smart key programming for push-to-start/proximity systems
  • ECU/immobiliser programming and parameter resets
  • Anti-theft key programming and car security checks
  • Digital diagnostics via OBD2; EEPROM key programming for specific platforms when required

We carry software and dealer-level equipment capable of handling the latest 2024/2025 Audi systems, as well as older platforms. If you’ve had a battery disconnect or control unit replacement and your keys are no longer recognised, we’ll re-sync and reprogram them onsite.

Non-Destructive Audi Vehicle Unlocking

Locked out of your Audi in Wandsworth, Battersea, Clapham, Putney, Wimbledon, or anywhere across the SW postcodes? Our trained technicians use non-destructive entry methods to open your vehicle quickly and safely without drilling or prying. We pick locks and bypass systems using manufacturer-safe techniques. In rare cases where minimal drilling is unavoidable (for example, a severely damaged lock barrel), we’ll explain the options and costs clearly before starting any work.

Audi Ignition And Lock Issues Solved

If your Audi key won’t turn, is stuck, or has snapped in the ignition, we can help. We carry extraction tools for broken keys, and we repair or replace worn ignition barrels and door locks where needed. We also address central locking faults, steering lock repair, and vehicle lock malfunction repair, using diagnostics to identify electrical vs mechanical faults.

FAQs About Audi Keys And Locks

Can you make a new Audi key without the original?

Yes. We can create and program a new key without the original using specialist decoding, key cutting, and immobiliser programming equipment. We’ll also deactivate missing keys if needed to protect your car.

My Audi says “key not detected”. What should I do?

First, try your spare if you have one and replace the fob battery. If the warning persists, the issue may be with the key, the proximity antenna, or immobiliser sync. We can run OBD2 diagnostics, test your key, and reprogram or replace components as needed.

Can you program Audi smart keys and proximity fobs?

Yes. We handle smart key programming and pairing for push-to-start Audi models using dealer-level tools. For certain platforms, we may use EEPROM or immobiliser adaptations to add keys securely.

I’ve locked my keys in the boot. Will you damage my Audi?

We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. Our goal is to open your Audi without drilling. If a rare exception applies due to damage or prior tampering, we’ll explain options and get your approval first.

How long does Audi key replacement take?

Many Audi key replacements are completed the same day, often in a single visit. Timing depends on model, key type, and immobiliser procedures. We’ll confirm expected timescales on your call.

Do you cover my part of South West London?
