Our Audi key replacement service includes:

You can learn more about our wider Car Key Replacement service if you also have other vehicles that need keys.
Audi Car Key Programming & Immobiliser Work
Modern Audi vehicles use advanced immobiliser systems, especially from 2008 onwards. If your key will not start the engine or the car shows a key symbol, it often indicates a programming or immobiliser problem.
We offer:
- Audi car key programming for new and existing keys
- Transponder key programming for older blade-style keys
- Smart key programming and proximity key replacement for keyless models
- Keyless entry programming and remote central locking repair
- Audi ECU / immobiliser programming and resets where needed
Our technicians use specialist tools and software for Audi digital key programming, following secure procedures to protect your vehicle and data. For more detail on programming work, visit our dedicated Car Key Programming service page.
Audi Vehicle Unlocking – Non-Destructive Entry
If you are locked out of your Audi in East London, we provide a swift, non-destructive unlocking service.
Typical situations include:
- Keys locked in the boot while loading shopping
- Keys left on the front seat while the car auto-locked
- Key or fob malfunction meaning the doors will not open
- Dead battery in the key, with no manual access available
Using specialist lock tools and techniques, we aim for non-destructive entry wherever possible. In rare cases where minor drilling or component replacement is the only option, we will explain the situation clearly and agree the approach with you before starting.
You can read more about our wider Vehicle Unlocking service for all makes and models.
Broken Audi Car Key Repair & Extraction
Audi keys and locks can wear over time, especially on older A3, A4 and A6 models that have seen heavy use.
We handle:
- Broken Audi car key extraction from door lock or ignition
- Repair of flip key housings where the blade has snapped or become loose
- Key blade replacement when the metal is worn or bent
- Replacement of worn-out keys that only work intermittently
If your key has broken in the ignition or door, do not try to force it or dig it out with tools, as this can damage the lock. Our technicians use precision extraction tools designed for non-destructive removal wherever possible.
For more detail on key issues, see our dedicated Broken Car Key problem page.
Audi Lock, Ignition and Central Locking Issues
Sometimes the problem is not the key at all, but the lock or ignition barrel. Common Audi issues include:
- Car key will not turn in the ignition
- Sticking or jammed door locks
- Central locking not working on one door
- Steering lock or ignition lock faults
- Wear in the ignition barrel causing intermittent starting problems
We offer:

FAQs – Audi Auto Locksmith in East London
Can you make a new Audi key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new Audi key without the original. We decode the locks and use specialist key cutting and programming tools to generate and pair a new key to your car’s immobiliser. This is often quicker and more convenient than going to a dealer, especially if your Audi is immobile.
Will you damage my Audi when unlocking it?
Our first priority is always non-destructive entry. We use specialist tools to unlock Audi doors without damage in the vast majority of cases. Only in rare situations, such as a severely damaged or previously tampered lock, might minor destructive work be necessary – and we will always explain this clearly and agree it with you before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new Audi car key?
The on-site work for a new Audi key typically takes from around 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the model, key type and whether any immobiliser or lock issues are present. The key advantage is that you do not have to wait days for a dealer appointment or arrange vehicle transport – we do everything at your location.
Can you fix an Audi key fob that has stopped working?
Yes. We can often repair or replace an Audi key fob that has stopped working, including:
- Battery replacement and re-synchronisation
- Key fob housing and button repairs
- Full key fob replacement and programming if the electronics have failed
If your fob is not responding or your key fob is not working, our Key Fob Not Working page explains more about causes and solutions.
Can you help if my Audi key is not detected and the car will not start?
Yes. A key not detected message on an Audi can be caused by a failing key, antenna, immobiliser issue or other electronic fault. We can:
- Test the key and transponder
- Attempt reprogramming using OBD2 tools
- Diagnose and repair immobiliser or lock-related faults
We will talk you through the options once we have assessed the vehicle.
