Recode the keys

Audi TT MK1 (8N) - Reprogramming the remote controls

The procedures below make it possible to reprogram the opening/closing of the doors and trunk by remote control of the keys.

Reprogramming 1 or 2 remote controls

  • Insert the first key into the ignition and turn it to the ignition-on position without starting the engine;
  • Approach the second key to the lock and press the lock button (1/2 second is enough);
  • Put the second key in the driver’s door barrel and leave the door open;
  • Lock the vehicle by turning the second key;
  • Hold the key in the locked position while pressing the remote locking button for at least 2 seconds;
    • The hazard warning lights flash once. This means the car accepts pairing with the key.
  • Return to the central position of the barrel, and press the opening button;
    • The locks open
  • Remove the first key from the ignition, then the second from the door lock.

If only one key is deprogrammed:

  • Insert the working key into the ignition and turn it to the ignition-on position without starting the engine;
  • Approach the key to program to the lock and press the lock button (1/2 second is enough);
  • Put the key to program in the driver’s door barrel and leave the door open;
  • Lock the vehicle by turning the key;
  • Hold the key in the locked position while pressing the remote locking button for at least 2 seconds;
    • The hazard warning lights flash once. This means the car accepts pairing with the key.
  • To register this key as the second key, press the remote locking button again for at least 2 seconds;
    • The hazard warning lights flash a second time. This means your key is paired as key no. 2.
  • Return to the central position of the barrel, and press the opening button
  • Remove the key from the ignition, then the key from the door lock.
