Hello TDI Forum. I bought a 2014 Audi Q5 TDI, and it only came with one key. I need a backup key, but dealer wants around $700. Any suggestions for a cheaper alternative?
Keep dreaming for 2014 Q5 .You can buy a blank key for $100 off fleabay and have a locksmith program for another $100. There is a code on the side of your fob. Search for that. But make sure it has a virgin chip.
They asking to much , Fair price would be around at max $550 . the key it self is around $300-$375 depend is it keyless or not . Programing should not be more then $150-$175.Hello TDI Forum.

This is what I've found in my research across multiple forums over the last few months. I'm trying to get 1 ordered/received before I take it in for a leaking AdBlue tank in hopes they'll be generous and program it for a little less than the full rate ... gotta be hopeful.They asking to much , Fair price would be around at max $550 . the key it self is around $300-$375 depend is it keyless or not .

What's the code on the side of your key?Keep dreaming for 2014 Q5 .
I did not say that , that was other member,What's the code on the side of your key?
I think the code on the fob is IYZFBSB802. This number aligns what the key resellers on Ebay and Amazon say is for 2014 Q5. A couple months ago I bought such a fob on Amazon, (i think $40 I paid) then took it to local Audi dealer for programming. They said $140 to program, and no guarantee we can program it, and I am liable for the $140 regardless. .. so their reprogram efforts failed. i returned the fob to Amazon. Turns out there are very few people that have the equipment and Authorization codes to reprogram an Audi key.... they really have their key business "locked up" from competitors. But I will keep pushing for a workaround....You can buy a blank key for $100 off fleabay and have a locksmith program for another $100. There is a code on the side of your fob. Search for that.

ah , the joys of capitalism !! Charge as much as the market will bear, if you dont like my price , go park your white elephant somewhere other than outside my front door.
Yes! Well stated. I am curious how this $700 key price fits in with their "Truth in Engineering" slogan.ah , the joys of capitalism !! Charge as much as the market will bear, if you dont like my price , go park your white elephant somewhere other than outside my front door.

Let me know how it goes at the dealer.This is what I've found in my research across multiple forums over the last few months.

Do you have comfort access?
I dont know what comfort access is....
Cubans are lucky. Their 1950s junkers dont even need keys.ah , the joys of capitalism !!
Well, finally got the car back after ~45 days ... so they waved the programming fee. Not sure what they would have done if the time of service was in the range of "normal".Let me know how it goes at the dealer.
I went to AA Express Locksmith hoping to get them to rejuvenate the key fob for my 2010 Sportwagen that got rain soaked. Their price was $125 for a new electronic module and reprogramming the fob. Fortunately, their policy was to charge only if they were successful and despite working for about 20 minutes, they could not get the new module reprogrammed for my Sportwagen. I ordered a key fob from Amazon that specified the part number of the existing dead keyfob and tried programming it as per YouTube video instructions. Unfortunately, the programming was unsuccessful - which did not surprise me as the price for the new fob was only $22 and change. Any thoughts anyone? I have not yet gotten desperate enough to try the local VW dealer.....I think the code on the fob is IYZFBSB802. This number aligns what the key resellers on Ebay and Amazon say is for 2014 Q5.

While I think your situation is similar, there are significant differences in the FOBs of Q5/Q7's and the Jetta. Most notably, I believe your era JSW uses the RFID chip in the 2 part rectangular FOB. Also, the Q5/Q7's were available with both the normal blade key FOB (non-rectangular) and the 2 part (internal blade) for push button start.I went to AA Express Locksmith hoping to get them to rejuvenate the key fob for my 2010 Sportwagen that got rain soaked.
