Default Key replacement

So I called Audi a few weeks ago to get a set of new keys as I've been having that common problem that many have been going through where it refuses to work.

Dropped the car off for service, everything's great except the keys that Audi shipped were also faulty too.

Great.

Default Interesting development with my keys.

So I had the same problem as everyone....the key remote slowly stopped working over a period of a couple months. Finally it was happening so much that I moved on to the second key, which has worked fine.

Fast forward six weeks and I just called today to schedule my 5K maintenence and mentioned one of my key remotes had stopped working.

Grabbed the original key out of the drawer where it has sat untouched since it stopped working (so I wouldn't forget to take it in tomorrow). For kicks I tried it and now it works fine? Too weird.

Default Same behaviour as the first key

Started to get worse and worse to a point it no longer worked. It'll work sometimes all of a sudden then stop.
