Programming Guide for 2019 Audi S4 Keyless Entry Smart Key Remote Fob
Important Notice: The 2019 Audi S4 does not support onboard programming for smart key remote fobs. All programming must be completed by a professional using manufacturer-specific diagnostic equipment.
Programming Procedure:
- Step 1: Contact a certified automotive technician or an authorized service provider who is equipped to work with Audi smart key systems.
- Step 2: If your vehicle is drivable, it may be more cost-effective to take it directly to the service provider’s location rather than requesting a mobile visit.
- Step 3: Ensure the technician has experience with Audi security and immobilizer systems to avoid programming errors or incompatibility.
- Step 4: Bring all remote fobs you want to program, as previously stored keys may be erased during the new programming session.
- Step 5: The technician will connect specialized diagnostic equipment to your vehicle’s OBD-II port and access the immobilizer control module.
- Step 6: Through the diagnostic system, the technician will initiate the key adaptation process, registering the new smart key fob to your vehicle’s system.
- Step 7: Once programming is complete, each remote will be tested to confirm proper function—this includes lock/unlock, trunk access, and engine start/stop.
- Step 8: If any remotes fail to function, the technician will recheck the system for configuration errors and reprogram if necessary.
- Step 9: After successful programming, ensure all key functions work properly and store your spare remote in a secure location.
Additional Considerations:
- Proof of Ownership: You may need to present the vehicle’s title or registration before programming can be authorized.
Remote Compatibility:
- Only use smart key fobs specifically designed for the 2019 Audi S4.
System Limit:
- Most Audi vehicles can store a limited number of remotes. All intended keys should be programmed during the same session.
