One of my two fob keys was missing and had a fully drained battery. The car has the KESSY start system so I was hoping to resync the fob with a fresh battery following this procedure
http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Immobilizer_III_Key_Matching_(Kessy)

Am I understanding correctly only dealers can resync the fob because the PIN is NOT made available to owners?

For reference below is the latest auto scan.

Am I understanding correctly only dealers can resync the fob because the PIN is NOT made available to owners?
You're looking at Immo-3 instructions; this car is way beyond Immo-3.

Even if the PIN were available, it wouldn't be sufficient to match a key to one of these cars. It's a challenge/response mechanism now. The challenge (from the car) changes every time the ignition is cycled, and the only place the algorithm exists to generate the response from the challenge is on the factory's servers.

That said, I would think that a key that previously worked and only stopped working due to disuse and a dead battery should work again once it has a good battery. If it doesn't, my guess is the key is defective.

Thank you for your education Uwe. I'm new to the audi/vw world and couldn't find resync instructions for my model.

The fob was laying in the car between the seat and center console for 3+ months and was working fine before. I tried 2 new batteries today but the key isn't recognized. When I hit the start button, the LED in the bad FOB lights up briefly.

I'll give it a shot a the dealer. Reprogramming is $110 and I hope to avoid the $350 replacement key.

Thank you.

I can't say I blame you for that.

Make sure you take all your keys to the dealer. If any key gets programmed, they all need to be programmed. If one missed, it will no longer work. I do not know if your car came with a separate valet key, but it's one people often miss.

Oh, and when they give you the car back, make sure to test all the keys individually. That means leave all but one a goodly distance away and make sure the one you're testing unlocks, starts, and locks the car. At least that's what I do. "Trust, but verify!" :)

Just closing the loop on this. The dealer was able to reprogram the dead fob. Lesson learned: don't loose your key between the seat and the transmission tunnel. :(
