i'm not really sure if you're talking about how to actually cut the key part, but i'm pretty sure you cant do that yourself. Did the dealer you talked to know you had the keys and didnt need to buy the? £40 sounds like the replacement cost, including the actual key.

:mellow: by the way... please don't repspond in all caps, its very hard to read.

ooh, i see, i misunderstood you. that does seem kind of overpriced. is there any way you could call another dealer in your area? shop around alittle for a better deal?

another thought... try going to a VW dealer... they use the same keys, and probably the same programing system, but usually charge much less than audi. :mellow:

[I can't actualy belive you waste so much efford and energy for 10 pounds....come on you drive an Audi afterall if the few bucks were un issue you should have both a Seat or Skoda ;-)
If you are adamant in saving the money and have the time to waste try searching the AudiWorld forum I have seen a topic and technical details for the above.
