    Anyone used them before? Lost my only car key (3 button audi flip key) charging 280 euro for a locksmith to callout to me and replace the key on the spot with an "oem key"

    Expensive but I'd assume audi will charge a lot more and Id have to somehow get the car to them...

    Dunno about Audi, maybe you can give them a chassis number to order a new key. I paid 300 euro for a 3 button Toyota key in August. Called them out to the airport at 5pm on a Friday too.

    If you do get them out, ask how much they will charge for a second key. It might be worth your while getting a spare. I paid an extra 70 for a spare.

    €280 isn't bad for that including callout. Audi will be more than that foe supply and code of the key and you'll have to get the car to them.

    I used them to get a spare for my last car and found them good. I had a key for them to copy though. My wife has a 151 corrolla with only 1 key, I rang auto key and Toyota for for a price and Toyota were actually a good bit cheaper surprisingly.

    A locksmith can do they key, but can they do the rolling imobilizer code as well which is needed to start most cars?

    Also a place in Blackpool s.c ,got a key 2 yrs ago for my old honda insight ( Japanese import) polish guy,not the fob but an ignition key,and a spare open / close key, think it was reasonable enough, AFAIK under e100
