<h1>2018 Audi TT RS Remote Key Fob (Smart Key)</h1> <p><font size="3"><b>Important Note:</b> The 2018 Audi TT RS does not support onboard (manual) programming. Programming the smart key requires specialized diagnostic tools that can interface with the vehicle’s onboard systems.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><b> Step-by-Step Smart Key Programming Instructions:</b> </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Verify Smart Key Compatibility Ensure the new remote fob is compatible with the 2018 Audi TT RS. It must be either brand new or have been properly reset and cleared from any previous vehicle. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Prepare the Vehicle Place the vehicle in Park and ensure the ignition is off. Open the driver’s door and keep it open throughout the process. Confirm that the vehicle’s battery is in good condition. Install a fresh battery in the key fob to ensure signal strength. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Connect Diagnostic Equipment Plug a compatible diagnostic device (e.g., ODIS, VCDS, or similar) into the OBD-II port, located below the driver’s dashboard. Open the diagnostic software and allow it to detect and communicate with the car’s control units.</font></li> <li><font size="3"> Step 4: Enter Key Programming Mode Navigate within the software to the Immobilizer or Key Learning section. Authenticate with a valid security code or credentials if prompted. Select the function to add or program new keys to the system. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 5: Pair the Smart Key When prompted, place the smart key near the designated programming area, typically located near the center console or start button. Begin the pairing process through the software. The system will establish communication with the new key and register it to the vehicle. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 6: Program Additional Keys (If Required) If programming more than one key, repeat the registration process while the system remains in programming mode. Up to eight total keys may be programmed, depending on the system’s capacity. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 7: Validate Programming Test all functions of the newly programmed key: Lock and unlock doors Trunk release Engine start via push-button ignition Proximity keyless entry (if equipped) </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 8: Complete the Session Exit programming mode in the software interface. Disconnect the diagnostic equipment from the OBD-II port. Confirm that all programmed keys work properly and any unwanted keys are no longer functional. </font></li> </ul> <p><font size="3"><b>Additional Tips:</b> </font></p> <p><font size="3">All existing keys should be present during programming, as some systems will erase unrecognized keys. If the vehicle does not respond or fails to enter programming mode, restart from Step 2. Ensure programming is completed in one uninterrupted session to avoid incomplete key pairing.</font></p>
