Default Key FOB problem

I own a 2014 A6 TDI. Starting a little over a month ago, the doors on my car started to unlock without me first engaging the unlock button on the FOB. It seems to only happen when I am holding the FOB. I am pretty certain that I am not pressing the unlock button. I first noticed this happening about a month ago when I found my car unlocked in the morning. This has happened several times. I now garage my car and every couple of days, when I open the door from the house to the garage, the car lights are on. Initially I thought that I had forgotten to lock the car in the evening, but it was happening too often. About a week ago, I was walking in my living room with my keys in my hand and noticed the vehicle lights flash. I went outside and the vehicle was unlocked. I realized that I had locked the vehicle because the mirrors were folded. Then, last night and again this afternoon, when I was about 100 feet from the vehicle, I took my keys and FOB out of my pocket and I as soon as I did so, the vehicle lights flashed. When I got to the vehicle both times, it was unlocked. Assuming I am not inadvertently pressing the unlock button or the keys are not depressing the unlock button, has anyone experienced this with their car? I spoke with AUDI service and the advisor had not heard of this before.

Use the other fob and see if the results are the same.

Try switching fobs? Maybe yours is putting out a constant signal.
