What to do if I lock my Audi keys in the car UK

If you've locked your Audi keys inside the car in the UK, first check if you have the spare mechanical key (often provided with new vehicles). If not, you'll need to either call a professional locksmith (typically 1-2 hour wait with ID verification) or visit an Audi dealership for a replacement key (requiring your unique key code).

Most modern Audi models like the A3, A4 or Q5 come with two sets of keys - one main fob and a spare mechanical key that can open the door manually. Keep this spare key separate from your main fob to avoid being locked out.

For UK Audi owners, the quickest solutions are:

1. Using the spare mechanical key (if available)
2. Contacting AA or RAC breakdown services (if you have cover)
3. Visiting an authorised Audi dealer (like Audi West London or Audi Manchester)

Replacement keys from Audi UK dealerships typically cost £150-£300 and require proof of ownership plus your vehicle's unique key code. The process usually takes 2-3 working days for most models including the Audi A1, Q3 and e-tron.
