Default FOB no longer works after being on the washer and dryer. Can I buy a used FOB and reprogram?

The car still starts but the FOB doesnt work. I tested and the FOB batter is good and the circuitry looks clean so I think the internals are busted.

The FOB/Blade that stopped working is my ONLY key. Do I need 2 keys to program the FOB?
Can I buy a used FOB like this one on ebay?

Thanks guys.

BTW I have VAGCOM and IMMO3 on my 02 a4 B6

Default I have an extra FOB to my car...still haven't had it programmed to my car.

Has to be done via the dealer and that means a stupid amt of money for a dang key...so it sits in my car!

Default You can't just reprogram with the car? Mine flaked out and I was able to get it reset

using the car's manual.

Maybe it's different with a new one.
