Audi Auto Locksmith
Central Scotland
VVDI2 covers every Audi model — A1 through A8, all Q series, TT, R8 and the e-tron electric range. No year limits. All keys lost, Comfort Key programming or spare key — at your location across Central Scotland.
Audi Key Services — VVDI2 Across the Entire A and Q Range
Audi sits within the VAG Group, sharing its fundamental IMMO architecture with Volkswagen, SEAT, Skŏda and Porsche. VVDI2 is the specialist tool for this group and covers every Audi platform without year restrictions — from the original A3 MK2 through to the current B9 A4, MQB-based A3 and MLB Evo Q7 and Q8. Both MLB (larger models) and MQB (smaller models) platforms are fully covered for all job types.
Audi’s Advanced Key system — the branded name for proximity entry and push-button start — requires VVDI2 for full programming. The system has two components: the transponder that allows the engine to start, and the remote proximity transmitter that unlocks the car as you approach. Both are programmed in a single OBD session. Q5 and Q7 with Advanced Key are among Central Scotland’s most relay-theft-targeted vehicles. Thatcham Research includes Audi Advanced Key in their keyless entry security assessments.
For Audi owners with one working key who want a spare, VVDI2 adds a second key in 20–35 minutes at your location. This is the most requested Audi job. For the increasingly common scenario of lost keys on A4, A6 or Q5 — all-keys-lost via VVDI2 generates a new key from VIN data, cuts the blade on-site and clears the ECU of all previous key codes.
Audi Q5 and Q7 with Advanced Key are among Scotland’s most relay-attacked models. Store keys in a Faraday bag, particularly near front doors. Parking in a locked garage is the most secure option. A non-keyless spare key adds a backup option if the keyless fob is compromised.

Audi Key Replacement Pricing
What Affects the Price
Audi key pricing depends on model, platform and key type. AKL on an A6 C8 differs from adding a spare Comfort Key on a Q3. e-tron electric models require confirmation on the call. RS and S Line variants are priced the same as standard IMMO models.
Price Before I Travel
I give a price when you call — before I set off. What I quote is what you pay. No additional charges on arrival.
vs Audi Dealer
Audi dealers charge £280–£500+ for key replacement and require workshop attendance. VVDI2 gives me full VAG platform access at your location, at a significantly lower total cost.
