Thanks. Yes they have, they have told me that it's been stolen by an employee and that only five senior managers have access to the 'S" series car keys. 2016 SDV8 Autobiography

Sorry to hear your tale, however, look on the bright side. If you would have kept the Audi you would have to learn to drive 2ft of the vehicle in front and have a personality bypass.

I wonder how many other cars from the dealership in question are delivered with the second key missing?

It’s a funny thing but after it was stolen I did some research and found a BMW dealer in very close proximity to this Audi Franchise that did exactly the same and got away with it on six cars until he was caught. Every time they stole the car the same day as it was purchased to make sure the key codes weren’t changed. He got 5yrs and 3 months imprisonment in August this year, so I guess it gave someone an idea. 2016 SDV8 Autobiography And several others previously. |

Wow, this is shocking stuff; I’ve just had to re-read the thread to make sure that I’d understood it properly |

So sorry to hear, sounds like a very organised gang. Yet another manufacturer who does not know how to look after their customers.

As a current Audi driver as well I’m relatively impressed with Audi UK’s customer service. Their build quality is also second to none. The key story is interesting; on their MMI there is a screen which shows the number of authorised keys. In theory, if that key had been lost, that number should have read ‘1’ and that should have been the first step the retailer took before delivering the car. |

I'm sure you knew you'd be back in a FFRR at some point, just not this quickly...... |
