Key replacement and remote reprogramming on an Audi TT Mk1

Model: Audi Tt 8N, MK 1 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Key

In this video we can see a problem that can happen quite frequently with the keys of the Audi TT; in fact, this key broke at the thinnest point when it fell, making the key and remote control unusable. Buying another key from Audi is very expensive; buying a neutral key and having it shaped by a locksmith has proven to be impossible. The YouTuber suggests the path he personally took, which is to contact the website keysinthepost.com where replacement keys for most cars on the market can be found at affordable prices. After replacing the key, we now need to reprogram the remote control. We insert the non-functioning key into the ignition and turn it two clicks so that the dashboard lights up. We insert the functioning key into the driver's door lock, turn it to the lock position, and then turn it again to activate the process. We will hear the doors unlock. Now press the ignition button on the remote control inserted in the car. The dashboard lights will start flashing, if it doesn't work, repeat several times. Press the unlock button on this remote control: the lights should light up again and the locks should unlock. Turn off the car and remove the keys from the ignition. Now everything should work, but sometimes it may take multiple attempts and the process may need to be repeated.
