About Audi Car Key Systems — Advanced Key, MQB, MLB & Immobiliser
Audi vehicles are built across two main platform architectures with distinct key systems. MQB platform models — A1 (GB 2018+), A3 (8V/8Y), Q2, Q3 (F3) — share key programming architecture with the Volkswagen Group. MLB platform models — A4 (B9), A5, A6 (C8), Q5 (FY), Q7 (4M), Q8 — use a separate immobiliser system with its own programming requirements.
Audi's Advanced Key system — the proximity keyless entry and push-start feature available across most Audi trim lines from SE Technology upwards — uses encrypted key fob programming that requires advanced diagnostic equipment and, on post-2019 MQB/MLB models, manufacturer security access.
Lee programmes all Audi key types on-site across Cheadle, Hale, Bramhall, and all of Greater Manchester. Given Audi's shared VW Group architecture, VW, Seat, and Skoda key work is covered under the same platform knowledge.

Does Your Audi Need SERMI-Certified Key Programming?
Audi vehicles on MQB and MLB platforms from 2019 onwards — including A3 8Y, Q3 F3, Q5 FY, and A4 B9 facelift — require manufacturer security access during key programming. Older Audi models (pre-MQB/MLB or pre-2019) use standard immobiliser OBD programming without immobiliser access requirements.
Lee covers both platform generations and will confirm the exact requirements for your Audi when you call. He attends across Cheadle, Hale, Heaton Moor, and all of Greater Manchester.
