How to program VW or Audi Key with only 1 key 

One of my keys (the one I used daily!) deprogrammed itself for no apparent reason. I followed your instructions and it started working immediately. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you SO much! I have an Audi A4 Cabrio and only one key. All the directions I could find were for 2 keys. I found yours, just followed your simple directions and it worked!! My car locks, unlocks and pops the trunk!! Thanks again!

I’ve put up with a non-functioning remote for ages! This worked and fixed the issue. Thanks.

Craig. Thank you so much. My neighbor was having this trouble with her drivers door not locking after her remote battery died. Replaced the battery in the remote and the same problem happened until I used your video to program the remote. All is fine now. Thank you .

Hey thank you so very much I've been searching for a video like this for over 9 months..... Its outrageous to pay $150 for someone else to do it. So thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you so much! Some of us just don’t have dealer prices to shell out and I tried everything else with only one key! You’re the best!

I cant believe this worked!!!!! Hearing that beep after following your simple instructions was SUCH a feeling of accomplishment. Thank you!

Thank you, you just saved me a ton of money and heartache as I was told by the dealer actually the closest dealer is 100km + away so its a local garage that works on VW cars here in south east Ontario Canada $300. I needed to be with my young Autistic son who is 5 hours away in a hospital with 2 brain tumors, he was rushed there from the local hospital 2 nights ago and when the car would not start it was the worst feeling I could feel for something like this to happen. Your video was the only one I could find that explained it so basic but come across perfect. Thank you, and for the people who want to put a negative on my post keep it to yourself I am with my son and that's all that matters.

Totally didn't expect this to work after trying a bunch of other things but it did the trick on an Audi A4 B7 2008 model! Cheers dude 👍

If you have a wireless keyfob just do the same thing (except for putting the key in the key slot because you dont have a slot for that of course). Just get in the car, push the push button start until the radio comes on basically (it should also say that there is no key fob detected at this point), and then do the same thing he does locking the car from the inside and then holding the lock button on your key fob for a few seconds until the key fob flashes red. Violaaaa. Programmed. Thanks man saved me $220 bucks

Worked after my car was in the shop for three months and got deprogrammed. They quoted me $200 at the Audi dealer and $160 at the locksmith. Glad I looked this up first! Fixed it in about 5 seconds and it hasn’t been working for months.

Thank you for helping the Common Person avoid the manufacturer-endorsed Stealership EXTORTION on these key-fob and radio "reprogramming fees."

Thanks so much. Just did ignition switch rebuild. The key would not turn car off it was running. And then i had a start then die. Thought it might need reprogrammed. Followed your tip. Thanks again.

Worked with my new-to-me 2011 Golf. Only difference was the red didn’t blink but worked After following your steps. Liked and subscribed- thank you!

awesome you saved the day for me. couldn't afford to get a new key right now

Awesome!! Worked 1st try on my B7 S4. Thank you!

THANK YOU..it took you 1min 16secs to answer my prayers. Its works on my Skoda Yeta. I was looking at a £100 bill and a load of bullshit. Thank you

Thank you. Worked on my Audi A4 2007 convertible! I will subscribe. Great 👍

Thank you finally something that worked (audi a4 b5 1999)

I was pissed I couldn’t lock my car for Almost 2 weeks , didn’t leave anything in my car while I had this problem , watched this and said the worst that’s gonna happen is it doesn’t work , but sure as shit it solved the problem! Thanks! Mine worked on a 07 Jetta 🤙🏽

Thanks, it worked in about 10 seconds!!!! Great video!

After your hint and once I put the battery in correctly, it worked like a charm.

Friend's 2012 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5 SE. The 2nd key buttons stopped working. This worked, Thank You !

Hi, *Thank you* This worked on my 2016 Vw Caddy Van, I did tried a few different RU-vid videos but your one worked, I FOUND All VW’s ARE NOT THE SAME SO JUST TRY A FEW LIKE I HAD TO AND THIS ONE WORKED FOR ME👌🏼 ( Didn’t work for me the 1st, But I tried it a 2nd time and it worked,👌🏼 (THANK YOU SIR)

Nice one man,just got back from 2 month holiday,disconnect the car battery before leaving.when i came back the fob wouldnt lock/unlocked the car.this work first time.legend

Thanks for the VW/Audi Info ref recode key. Not only very useful but really easy to understand. What makes me laugh is that the main dealers will always say it has to go to them ....... REALLY ????? Not now, Thanks again, Ken Leyton, Chichester UK

Tried all other suggestions without success. Yours worked. Thanks mate. Stamford England.

Just did this on my retro golf gti mk4 and it worked straight away . Thank you

Have a 2004 Audi A4. Same thing, battery died and fob stopped working after car battery replaced. Followed advice here - my Audi doesn't have a light on its fob nor does it seem to have 2 stages before engine turns on. So I turned it to the stage just before vehicle turns on while following advice. It worked!! Key Fob now working normal. Thanks, liked and subscribed!

Superb! Thanks so much. Saved me a ton of money.

Thank you very much. Your simple proceedure worked first time. Brilliant!

Great video, a must have knowledge and thanks for making this video. Will do this on my 08 Touareg

tried for a long time to get my second key to work. i used the suggested method ,but like another person commented it worked in a different way and i cannot remember what i did . The thing is that he put me on the right track and my 2008 audi a3 2tdi has a working second key.(6-09-2023)🤩

Brilliant- many thanks! 🌟

Bro your video saved me soon many times!!!!!

Wow! This totally worked. Thanks so much for this. Subbed to your channel too 👍🏼

Hold the lock button ON THE KEY fob. On the key fob. I got lost when the video panned away. Thank you for this video though. Mine was fixed by using the manual key hole in the driver's door (different video). You turn it clockwise then anti-clockwise about six times. That reset it for me.

Great channel 👍🏻

Great tip!

Thank you so much, all the way from South Africa

Thank you! Worked on a 2006 Audi 4.

That did the trick for my Audi A8 D3 (2002-2009) but with the key step done a bit different. You turn the key once to activate the electrics and then push the lock button on the key!
