Vagcom

OBD II to USB

install software on a notebook running windows, plug it into the port below the steering wheel on your VW, Inc. car, you should be able to get the info in there to recode keys on your own

Replacment key fob

you can also use vagcom to do a number of neat changes to your car depending on what make/model you have

leasing owns if you look at it purely as a utility to write off as a utility and have the money to not care about it

its not for u if you consider it renting / worry about when its over / are in a lease because it was cheaper than buying per month and youre really tight on cash / etc

the point of leasing is to not have to own an audi after 100k miles, at which point it becomes a hole in the road you throw money into

if you don't gently caress with anything other than coding new keys you should be fine. if you start switching other features around and turn on European market-only stuff then that's completely up in the air.

they dont generally have big-ticket issues until the 100k mark in my experience (b5 a4, 2x c5 a6) which is right around when the lease is generally up

i guess thats 3 audis ive driven into the ground at this point actually

i wouldnt keep doing this to myself if they werent the best looking cars and didnt drive like butter

gently caress all of the tech crap in newer cars, why would you ever get built-in nav, give me a stereo with an aux jack (also 3 pedals) and a place to mount a timbphone. almost all new cars look like overdesigned poo poo to my eyes. an exception would be the 08 9-3 i used to own but the interior was poo poo and it drove like poo poo so

early 00s german cars ftw, man look correct in those

look at this poo poo holy gently caress
