Convenience key problem w ignition lock
Hi there. Just drove our new '09 A4 3.2 Premium from Maplewood Audi in Minneapolis home to Calgary. Everything great until we started programming the HomeLink. Oh oh! We seem to have inserted and removed the key incorrectly. With car shut off, upon opening door you get the chimes and message "Please remove key". When you drive car, you get message "Ignition lock inoperative" (or something) and symbol of key with red X. Dealer says there is a TSB to clean the actual "slot" that the key goes in as the key is not being retained. Is there a home remedy for this? Vacuum out the dust? Dealer can't repair for a few days. Thanks!
