Programming Guide for 2012 Audi S7 Keyless Entry Smart Key Remote Fob
Important Notice: The 2012 Audi S7 does not support onboard programming for smart key remote fobs. Programming must be completed by a qualified automotive technician using Audi-specific diagnostic equipment.
Programming Procedure:
- Step 1: Contact a certified technician or authorized Audi service provider equipped with official diagnostic tools required for smart key programming.
- Step 2: If your vehicle is operational, driving it to the technician’s facility is generally more economical than arranging a mobile visit.

- Step 4: The technician will connect specialized diagnostic equipment to the OBD-II port to access your vehicle’s key programming interface.
- Step 5: Using the diagnostic system, the technician will begin the registration process to pair each smart key fob with the vehicle’s locking and ignition systems.
- Step 6: Each fob will be tested for full functionality, including lock/unlock, trunk access, and push-button start, to confirm successful programming.
- Step 7: If a remote does not function as expected, the technician will perform troubleshooting and repeat the process to ensure proper communication with the vehicle.
- Step 8: Once all fobs are registered and verified, the system will be exited from programming mode and all remotes will be ready for use.
