You could try these instructions

You will need BOTH remote key fobs to reprogram one or both of them.

1. Take the key you DO NOT want to reprogram and put it in the ignition.

2. Turn the ignition on but DO NOT start the engine.

3. Put the second key in the drivers door lock. Whilst it is in the lock press the UNLOCK button once only (the lights should flash on the car but the doors will remain locked).

4. With the second key still in the drivers door lock, unlock and then lock the door again.

5. Remove the key from the door lock.

6. Open the car and remove the key from the ignition.

7. Now test the key that you have reprogrammed, the one you have removed from the door lock.

If both your remotes don't work, do all of the above for the first key, but at step number 3. press the UNLOCK button TWICE. The light will flash twice and then proceed onto step 4 and finish the procedure.

alternatively here is a link you could try

thanks for the reply Trevor thats much appreciated, however i only got one key/fob when we bought the car the other day, we got the small plastic master key i think it is in the audi wallet with all its other stuff and paperwork but only one key/fob with the three buttons, put a brand new battery in it and the red led on the fob flashes when buttons are prerssed, so does this mean we will have to buy another key and have it cut before we can get a fob to work?

Sorry, thought it was the other type of key you have.

I think the best bet maybe to take it to a VW Audi specialist who can just programme the fob into the car by connecting up to the diagnostic platform.

I'm sure there is another way of doing it yourself but I'm not sure, so maybe some other members know???
