I ordered some fobs off ebay last time. Do you have VAG-COM and are going to program it yourself?

I found a local shop that cut the blank, but I had to take the key apart for them and they still charged me like $60 to cut each blank.
And they complained how hard it was to cut because the blank was some hard steel and not plated brass.
The switch blades from eBay were nice, but didn't have the audi rings, had to order those from someone else on ebay.
Also the buttons were plastic too not rubber...but who really cares? They have been working fine.
