The Boy is Not Right
Friend of mine rented a car and got drunk and lost the fob. 200 for the tow truck and 900 for a new fob. Ouch, expensive drunk.

Used car dealer wanted to sell me Caddy with only one fob at delivery. Or $250 for another – said he had to "find one". Walked out. Called later with "one he had gotten for me".free.Took car deal. Later discovered original owner had scratched phone number on both keys. Yup, trying to juice me out of $250.

No more keys or fobs or gasoline for me. RFID cards and Bluetooth apps. Pure Electric.

My 06 Charger RT is old enough it still uses a key with the alarm and lock controls on it. Shouldn't be 1k to replace it but most newer cars have the fancy keys now so good there's alternatives that work and are dirt cheap. Even if they aren't super sturdy and easier to break you can have several backups and still be cheaper. π

But what about Audi? All the reading I've done says no, and no locksmiths can do it. And the dealer is ridiculous… $800 and refuses to reprogram the used key I bought for $20.
