In this article, we’ll explore some specific cases from our job history of working on Audi TTs and discuss common issues faced by owners of these vehicles.

Common Audi TT Key and Lock Issues

Audi TT models, especially those built between 2000 and 2012, have unique security and ignition systems that can be difficult to navigate. The following are some of the most frequent issues reported by Audi TT owners around the world:

• All Keys Lost: Losing all keys to a TT can be stressful. Audi’s security system requires skilled locksmiths with the right tools to program new keys.
• Ignition Problems: Ignition systems in the Audi TT, particularly in older models, may experience transponder failures or key recognition issues.
• Remote Key Programming Issues: Remote key fobs for Audi TTs often present difficulties, as some models are known for their inconsistent ability to pull PIN codes, making programming new keys tricky.
• Door Lock Malfunctions: Faulty door locks can prevent manual or remote unlocking, which is a common issue in both newer and older models.

Terry’s Locksmiths Audi TT Job History

Here’s a closer look at some of the Audi TT jobs we’ve worked on over the years, showcasing our team’s expertise in dealing with various key and lock-related problems.

• Job 85347: 2006 Audi TT Roadster – All Keys Lost Locksmith Seb was called to work on a 2006 Audi TT Roadster where all keys had been lost. Seb used an aftermarket key provided by Terry’s Locksmiths, specifically the VW 2-button flip key model MK19952 B01-2. He utilized the Autel and VVDI Key Tool Max to pull the car’s Component Security (CS) data, which is crucial for programming new keys. Due to the age of the vehicle, Seb successfully programmed a non-remote key, though remote programming was not possible. This job illustrates our ability to handle complex “all keys lost” situations with Audi TTs.

• Job 77830: 2007 Audi TT – All Keys Lost Another challenging job involved a 2007 Audi TT, where locksmith Seb again managed an “all keys lost” scenario. Using the Autel and Smart Pro tools, Seb programmed an aftermarket non-remote turn key (model HU-HAA.P1). This vehicle had a slim chance of success using conventional tools like SuperVAG, but Seb’s expertise allowed him to overcome these challenges, proving our team’s ability to handle difficult cases involving older Audi TTs.

• Job 65832: 2011 Audi TT – All Keys Lost In this case, Seb worked on a 2011 Audi TT where all keys had been lost. Using Autel and Smart Pro tools, Seb programmed a VW Audi non-remote transponder key (HU66). For this model year, the security system made it difficult to pull PINs, but our locksmith’s knowledge of how Audi TT models respond to different programming tools ensured success. Despite the difficulty, Seb was able to restore the vehicle’s functionality with a fully programmed non-remote key.

Audi TT Key and Security Programming Insights

Terry’s Locksmiths has extensive experience working on Audi TT models from different years. We’ve dealt with the various challenges posed by each model’s security system, particularly when it comes to pulling PINs and programming keys.

• 2000-2004 Audi TT Models: For early models, tools like Autel can successfully pull the PIN and CS data. Locksmiths often use Lishi tools to decode the lock and use 48-chip transponder keys.
• 2005-2007 Audi TT Models: For these mid-generation models, success rates vary based on the tools used. ADTools and SuperVAG are more likely to work with these vehicles, though results can be inconsistent.
• 2007-2012 Audi TT Models: These models tend to have more sophisticated security, with a slim chance of pulling PINs using tools like SuperVAG. However, newer tools like Autel and Smart Pro can often bypass these obstacles.
