[s-cars] Keyless remotes for 1997 S6?

[Jason Mawhinney]

James,
Audi only used the IR that is referrence in this writeup til '95.  '95.5 and 
newer cars have a radio frequency remote that works much better at least in 
my opinion.  I can unlock my car from more than 20' away where I have 
friends who can't stand more than 3' away when locking/unlocking with the 
remote.  The newer ones still suck compared to my wife's old Honda where you 
could set off the panic button from damn near 100' radius.

Brent,
I would give you a PN off of mine but its worn off.  Sorry.  Tried w/o luck 
to find the remote in ETKA.
Jason
'95.5 S6 avant

Congratulations on picking up such a nice car... As for the dealer RF
solution...
don't do it... Install an aftermarket RF solution for much cheaper!!!

There was a write up on Audidodiworld on how to do this:

If you want I have partial instruction on how to install the "viper
Keyless entry system", but you can buy more cheaper versions that are
available.

Cheers, /James.

I just bought a 1997 S6 (Canadian model) and it did not come with the
keyless remote.  So I am looking around ebay for one to buy (the dealer
wants $225CDN for a new one!!!).  The problem is that I have found a
couple listed on ebay that "appear" to look right, visually... the
seller says that it came from a 1997 A6 (which according to the owners
manual is the same system).  But the part numbers don't match up?

The seller lists both US and Canadian part numbers:
FCC ID:  MZ2 410 819 4
Canadian #:  267 410 293 3 VDO

However, my dealer says the part number they have on their computer is:
8L0 959 753

So, I am not sure if this keyless remote is the right one (it looks the
same as the one in the owners manual)???
Is there any way to tell?

Thanks,
Brent Henry
