All I did, and it worked, was: unlock the driver's door with the metal key, open the trunk manually from the inside, then shut the trunk. And voilà! It resets the remote. I learned that with a VW Passat I had years ago.
Like how everything is clearly explained but my question is disconnecting the actual car battery. I hav3 a4 avant B8 (2011) would disconnecting cat battery result in having other issues that would cause programing issues with other things and would need to have a Audi shop reprogram your car?
One key fob for my 2005 A4 3.0 Tdi Quattro SE Tiptronic failed. I changed the battery and it would transmit but would not unlock the car. I booked it into Grimsby Audi for reprogramming, but the mechanic found that all he needed to do was to insert the key, turn the ignition on and press a button on the key, and that activated it. There was no charge for the procedure. It's a pity that method is not mentioned in the Owner's Handbook.
Your actuator is bad. I'm dealing with the same issue. Just bought my b8. None of the doors locked. Changed out the f9 and f11 fuses in the trunk and driver side panel. Passenger door started locking. But now, none of them are locking. Not even the gas door.
Am also having a similar problem, the doors doesn't open with the remote I took out the metal key and it doesnt open the door either, we managed to open the trunk and jump the battery but the car is still not responding.
I have keyless entry and opening or closing the door from touching the handle works only a few times after I turned the car on. After I turn it off and wait a few moments it doesn't work anymore. Do you have any idea why?
I don't know much about keyless entry, as my car does not have it. The only thing I know is that I did not retrofit it, because people were complaining on forums that it is very unreliable.
great video! 👍🏻 Do you know if it’s possible to buy the key were you do not have to press anything to open the door and use it with an a4 that didn’t came with the key?(just walk to the car and the specific door opens when the key is near)
I've got the issue of it not opening the car. Once I stop driving I'm able to lock the car but I can't unlock it. I haven't tried disconnecting the battery in the car because I'm not sure if it will need to be programmed or not.
Hi, can you tell me if I can to reprogramming a key from another car Audi A4 B8) to working on my Audi (A4 B8). Is any chance? It's a bit expensive to buy brand new and I was thinking to try buying an old used before at different Audi (someone breaking an Audi A4 B8) Thank you for the video
