Audi Key Cutting - Why Locksmiths Are Your Tech-Savvy Confidante
Locksmiths are your go-to techie in the event that you find that your Audi key isn't working because of physical damage or electronic malfunctions. Locksmiths offer a cost-effective alternative to dealerships, providing quick response times and cost-effective solutions.
Instead of having to wait at the dealership, and then pay higher costs, a local locksmith will come to your home and cut and program your new key right on the spot!
Transponder Keys
Transponder keys are basically a microchip embedded in them which transmits a unique code to the vehicle. The code is matched to a specific serial number on the computer system in the car. The car won't start unless this match is made. This technology has helped decrease car thefts.
Most cars built in the last 20 years are equipped with this amazing technology. If you own an older vehicle it is still possible to get transponder keys. Beishir Lock and Security can cut keys from scratch and program the chip for you at less than the cost of a dealership.
This technology was designed to reduce the theft of cars. Before, thieves could turn on cars by putting two wires in the ignition switch. Transponder technology stops this because the vehicle will not start if it doesn't receive the correct code from the immobilizer system.
Another benefit of the chip is that it can be used to unlock trunks and doors without the push button. These "smart" Audi fobs have proximity sensors that activate when the owner is within only a few feet from the vehicle. The sensor will send a signal to vehicle to allow trunks and doors to open and unlock.
Transponder systems aren't always easy to determine. A bad battery is usually the cause of a key that won't turn in the ignition. A simple DIY kit can be used to replace the battery but most people would prefer a professional to do it. They can ensure that the task is completed quickly and correctly.
It is recommended to use an online locksmith if you are looking to replace the transponder. These firms can make the key on-site while you are waiting. This is also more convenient than having to travel to the dealer and wait to have your car taken to their workshop.
Side Cut Keys
We can cut a standard key that can open the doors and start your engine for less than the cost of a dealer. We also have laser cut keys that have an inner groove running along the length of the key that allows it to be inserted into the lock from either direction. The cuts made by the metal on a laser-cut key are more robust, thicker and more durable than the ones on a standard-cut key.
Dealerships
Audi drivers face the same problem when it comes to key replacement for their car. While the allure of brand loyalty could be enticing, dealership costs and surprise fees could turn the process into an expensive experience.
spare audi key has introduced a program that allows on-the-spot key replacements with locksmiths from the local area in order to ease this issue.

KeyMe kiosks are available across the country and offer various options to help you replace your lost Audi keys.

Audi has used transponder keys since the early 1990s. However, security systems have become more secure over time. Transponders with advanced technology are more secure than keys used in other vehicles, making them more difficult to steal. In addition to the conventional side-cut blade, Audi transponder keys have an unique PIN required to program them. While a professional locksmith can cut keys with the same quality and precision as the dealer, they are not able to program it into your vehicle without this code.
