About Your 2026 Audi S3
Audi is part of the Volkswagen Group and shares the MQB-platform immobilizer (IMMO5) with VW, Skoda, and SEAT. The KESSY proximity smart key has been on Audi since 2006 and is now standard across most trims. Audi's modern key system is one of the most secure mainstream platforms in the industry — programming requires advanced equipment but we support the full lineup on-site. The most useful thing to know about Audi keys: pre-2006 Audis use IMMO3 or IMMO4, which are well aftermarket-supported and cheap to program; 2006–2014 Audis use IMMO5, which is moderately complex; and 2015+ Audis use the MQB-Evo platform, which is the trickiest VW Group programming we do.
The 2026 Audi S3 is a sedan. We service this exact sedan regularly across the Jacksonville area — programming is reliable, the key blank is in stock on the truck, and most spare-key jobs complete in 35–60 minutes on-site without a tow.
2015-and-newer Audis (B9 A4, C8 A6, D5 A8, Q5 II, Q7 II, Q8, e-tron) use the MQB or MQB-Evo platform with the latest IMMO5 revision. We support the full lineup on-site.
Immobilizer (Audi IMMO5 / MQB): Audi shares the VW Group MQB platform. Programming time and blank cost are nearly identical to the equivalent Volkswagen.
