Gather Required Materials

 

  • New key fob compatible with 2015 Audi A4
  • Existing programmed key
  • Vehicle owner's manual
  • VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System) or a similar tool (optional)

 

Determine the Type of Key You Have

 

  • There are various types of Audi key fobs. Confirm that your new key fob is compatible with your 2015 Audi A4.

 

Access the Vehicle

 

  • Enter your Audi A4 using the already programmed key fob.
  • Make sure all doors are closed before you begin the programming process.

 

Insert the Existing Key

 

  • Insert the existing, already programmed key into the ignition.
  • Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.

 

Program the New Key Fob

 

  • Using the VCDS tool, connect to your vehicle's OBD-II port.
  • Navigate to the “Adaptation” or “Immobilizer” section of the system.
  • Follow the instructions to enter a new key. This usually involves entering a security code (often referred to as the "PIN" or "SKC").
  • After entering the required information, press the button on the new key fob. You may need to hold it for a few seconds to complete the process.

 

Test the New Key Fob

 

  • Turn off the ignition and remove the existing key.
  • Insert the new key fob into the ignition and turn it to the "ON" position.
  • Verify that the new key fob is able to start the engine and lock/unlock the doors.

 

Repeat If Necessary

 

  • If you have more than one new key fob to program, repeat the steps for each additional key.

 

Professional Help

 

  • If you encounter any issues or if the VCDS tool is not available, consider taking the car to an Audi dealership or certified locksmith specializing in Audi vehicles.
