Audi A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 Q5 Q7 RS4 S4 S5 TT 3 button replacement flip key shell

This style of Audi flip-key using the HAA key blade has been used with many many Audi models. 

This OEM key shell replacement features symbols for Lock, Boot & Unlock. The battery holder is fitted in the inside of the back cover. Please take care when removing the back cover as there is a small plastic tab which is easily broken if you do not remove it correctly. There are many videos on YouTube explaining the steps.

You don't have to replace your entire flip-key just because the shell is damaged or the key blade has broken away from the plastic body.

Here we offer you a top quality replacement flip-key shell for your old broken flip-key. Having a key covered in tape to hold it together or with holes in the buttons is never a good look and can be a real frustration.

The kit includes the front and back sections of the remote shell section and the flip-key mechanism end. The key blade will need to to be cut to match your old one.

Even though this is an aftermarket key shell, there is a recess in the back cover to place a logo sticker.

You may need to replace the double sided tape on your old logo sticker before refitting it to the new shell or you can purchase these stickers online or on eBay.

Swapping over your remote into the new shell is pretty easy to do yourself or come into our shop and we will swap them over for you, cut the key blade and test the battery for you.

Please note we do charge a fee of $50 for this service and this is only offered at our workshop in East Victoria Park, WA 6101.

If you do not live close by you can swap over the remote yourself and have the key blade cut at your local locksmith or key cutting kiosk. This type of key cutting is usually referred to as laser cut or wave cut. 

To swap over the components, first you will need to remove the battery cover. Then undo the 3 screws that hold the front and back sections of the key together.

Next carefully separate the front and back sections of the case being careful of the flip key spring as this may shoot out when you open the 2 parts up. Alos the small glass transponder chip will be glued in the back part of your old key and you must be very careful when removing it as if it breaks you car will not start and this can be quite expensive to fix.

If the circuit board has dirt on it and you wish to clean it, use PCB cleaner but make sure no battery is connected to the board. This is very important as if you spray PCB cleaner on the board and there is still a power source i.e. a battery connected you can seriously damage the circuit. Use a lint free cloth to very gently clean the circuit board.

Once cleaned allow at least 20 minutes for PCB cleaner to evaporate before replacing the battery. Once the cleaner has fully evaporated you can replace the battery in its holder and place the remote in the new key shell. 

While the battery is out of the battery holder, you can test to see it has 3 volts using a multi-meter if you have one.

Once all the steps above are completed you can secure the 2 halves together. Your new key is now ready to be duplicated at your local locksmith shop or key cutting kiosk.

It is always wise to use a reputable key cutting shop to ensure your key is cut accurately as even the smallest variance in the dimensions can prevent the key from working correctly. We calibrate our key machine regularly to ensure it is working to the most accurate level possible.
