    Hey guys,

    I lost my roof rack key and I talked to the local dealer and they want $100 for a new set of keys and locks. What are the other options I can go do? The key was so generic that it boggled my mind when they wanted to replace the entire thing...

    Are those all different keys? I have one just sitting on my dresser from a Q5 I traded over 2 years ago. Come to think of it, I have the rack too.

    Its a basic silver key. I think the rack is Thule, the replacement if it is is $10

    This must have your Audi dealer
    -1 set of coded socket sets for identification of matching torque wrench

    Show this to your "Audi dealers" and my advice is to change the dealers because he doesn't knows how to do his job




    It is true that there are 10 models




    There are 10 models
    Part number: 8R0-071-712 (D / E / F / G / H / J / K / L / M / N)



    Show this your dealer and tell him that you will send the complaint to Audi of America

    It's not that sort of key. The roof rack key is this... https://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-Q7--3.0T/ES395491/. I went to Thule and the key doesn't work sadly....
