Types of Audi Keys We Replace
Audi vehicles use sophisticated key systems that have evolved significantly over the years.
Our technicians are trained and equipped to work with all Audi key types, ensuring we can help regardless of your vehicle’s age or model.
Audi Flip Keys
The traditional Audi flip key features a switchblade-style metal blade that folds into the key fob when not in use.
These keys contain a transponder chip that must be programmed to communicate with your vehicle’s immobiliser system.
We can cut new blades and program the transponder chip to match your Audi, providing a fully functional replacement key.
Audi Advanced Key and Smart Keys
Modern Audi vehicles often come equipped with the Advanced Key system, allowing you to unlock and start your vehicle without removing the key from your pocket.
These proximity keys use encrypted radio frequency communication and require specialist programming equipment to replace.
Fleet Locksmiths carries the advanced diagnostic tools needed to program these smart keys at your location.
Emergency Key Blades
All Audi smart keys contain a hidden emergency key blade that can be used to manually unlock your door if the battery dies.
We can cut replacement emergency blades and also replace the batteries in your existing key fob to restore full functionality.
Why Choose Fleet Locksmiths for Your Audi Key Replacement

Our Audi Key Replacement Process
When you contact Fleet Locksmiths for an Audi key replacement, we make the process as straightforward as possible.
Here’s what you can expect when you book our service.
First, give us a call on 1800 00 3533 and provide details about your Audi, including the model, year, and your current situation.
We’ll give you an accurate quote and arrange a convenient time to visit your location.
Our technician will then travel to you with all the necessary equipment and key blanks for your specific Audi model.
Upon arrival, we’ll verify your ownership of the vehicle for security purposes.
This is standard practice and protects you from anyone trying to illegally access your car.
We’ll then use our specialist diagnostic equipment to read your vehicle’s security data and program a new key to work with your Audi’s immobiliser system.
If you’ve lost all keys to your Audi, we can still help.
We can generate new keys from scratch, though this process takes slightly longer as we need to reconfigure your vehicle’s security system.
Once the programming is complete, we’ll thoroughly test the new key to ensure it starts the engine, locks and unlocks all doors, and operates the boot release.
Protect Your Audi from Theft
While you’re thinking about your Audi’s security, it’s worth considering additional protection against the growing threat of keyless car theft.
Relay attacks allow thieves to amplify the signal from your smart key inside your home and unlock your vehicle sitting in the driveway.
The Autowatch Ghost 2 immobiliser provides an additional layer of security that prevents thieves from driving away even if they manage to get inside your vehicle.
The Ghost 2 connects to your vehicle’s CAN bus system and requires a unique PIN code sequence to be entered using your existing buttons before the engine will start.
This means that even if a thief has cloned your key or used a relay device to unlock your car, they simply won’t be able to drive it away.
Fleet Locksmiths is an authorised installer of the Autowatch Ghost 2 system and can fit one to your Audi the same day as your key replacement if you wish.
Complete Locksmith Services in Geelong
Beyond Audi key replacement, Fleet Locksmiths offers a comprehensive range of locksmith services across the Geelong region.
Our residential locksmith services include lock installation and repair, lock rekeying, security door locks, sliding door locks, and window locks.
For business owners, our commercial locksmith services cover everything from master key systems to high-security locks for offices, shops, and industrial premises.
We also provide Subaru key replacement and services for all other Japanese, European, and Australian vehicle makes.
The Importance of Having a Spare Audi Key
If you currently only have one key for your Audi, we strongly recommend getting a spare made while you have a working key available.
Having a spare key programmed while your original key is present is quicker and more cost-effective than having all keys replaced in an emergency.
When all keys are lost, the replacement process becomes more complex as we need to perform additional security procedures.
By having a spare key made now, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that if you ever lose your primary key, you won’t be stranded and can arrange a replacement at your convenience rather than as an emergency.
Avoiding Locksmith Scams in Geelong
Unfortunately, the locksmith industry has seen an increase in scam operators who advertise unrealistically low call-out fees, only to demand hundreds or even thousands of dollars once they arrive.
These operators often lack the proper qualifications and equipment to work on modern vehicles like Audis, potentially causing damage to your car’s electrical systems.
When choosing a locksmith for your Audi, always verify their credentials, ask for a detailed quote before they begin work, and check online reviews from previous customers.
Fleet Locksmiths is transparent about our pricing and will always provide a clear quote before any work is carried out.
Our MLAA certification, RACV approval, and years of positive customer feedback demonstrate our commitment to honest, professional service.

FAQ
My car or home keys are lost or stolen
No need to fret, we can provide help. We’ll come to your location and ask for photo identification, preferably a driver’s license. With advanced tools, we can unlock your car and create a new key. After that, we’ll program the key to work with your car. Typically, the entire process takes less than an hour, freeing up the rest of your day. Therefore, don’t hesitate to contact us if you’re struggling with lost car keys.
How much will the work cost?
To give you an exact estimate, we’ll need specific details about the job, including the amount of time and materials required. Once we have all the necessary information, we’ll provide you with a price range for the project. You can pay using credit cards or Afterpay, which provides payment flexibility.
What information do we need from you?
We require the following details from you: 1. The address of the workplace, 2. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
Do you need to change the lock?
As time passes, locks can wear down or get damaged, which can make it easier for intruders to break in. If you spot any signs of damage, such as rust or other indications, it’s best to arrange for a new lock installation as soon as possible. A new lock will be tougher to pick, and it will give you a sense of security, knowing that your home is better safeguarded.
Have you had your car or home keys stolen?
If you’ve had your car or house keys stolen, the initial step you should take is to contact a locksmith. At Fleet Locksmiths Melbourne, we’re available to assist you in replacing your missing keys and getting you back inside your house or on the road in a prompt manner.
How can I make a payment?
You can make payments using several methods at our store, including credit card, Afterpay, bank transfer, or cash. If you have any queries about the payment process, please feel free to seek assistance from one of our team members. We’re always glad to lend a helping hand!
How can I have the locks on my property changed?
We’ll be happy to help you with lock replacement on your property. However, we’ll need to know the number of locks that require rekeying before we can provide a quote and schedule a suitable time.
Do you offer a service after hours?
We acknowledge that emergencies can occur at any time and not just during business hours. Hence, we’re pleased to provide our clients with after-hours services. However, please note that this service is only for emergencies. If you require a quote or estimate, kindly call us during business hours.
Do you provide spare car keys?
In case you’ve misplaced all your car keys, we can provide the necessary assistance. Our expertise lies in replacing car keys, and we can ensure that you’re back on the road quickly. However, we don’t offer spare car keys. Instead, we can provide you with a fresh set of keys that will function with your vehicle.
What if your car is at the airport, a mall, or an underground parking lot?
Our team of mobile locksmiths is readily available to assist you. With our vast knowledge of various car types, we can promptly get you back on the road. In case you require a replacement key, we can also provide one. Hence, regardless of whether you’re stranded at the airport or stuck in a parking lot, we’re always here to help you get back on track.
Is it safe for me to try to open the car myself?
It’s not recommended to break into your own vehicle as this could lead to costly damages to the car, and you could also end up injuring yourself. Even if you own a prestige car, attempting to open the doors or tailgate without proper expertise could still be hindered by a deadlock. Therefore, it’s advisable to contact Fleet Locksmiths for assistance in such a scenario.
