Keyless Entry Problems...
Is anyone having any trouble with their keyless entry?? Apparently my key fob works when it decides to. Sometimes my doors will lock and unlock when I press the button and sometimes the trunk will pop open when prompted. When I press the buttons on BOTH key fobs, the keys light up, however, there are times where the car will not respond with the proper action.
HAs anyone else had this issue and know how to get it fixed or remedy it?? I got my car last March, so it's not old..but is it perhaps a battery issue within the key fobs??

Common problem, here's what to do
As noted, there is a Technical Service Bulletin issued for this item, so your dealer should be well aware of it. The issue is not with the batteries, the entire key fob needs to be replaced.
1) Call your dealer, notify them that you are having a problem with the fobs that will need replacement. You might want to have your VIN number available, just in case the dealer can't locate it.
2) Hurry up and wait. The new fobs need to be ordered from Audi, so you can expect a delay of up to a few weeks before they arrive at your service department. Each fob comes from Audi matched specifically to your car, so your dealer can't just go pull a generic one of the parts bin and get things started, the one that matches your car will need to be delivered to your dealer.
3) Go to the dealership. Once the fobs have arrived at the dealership, they need to be programmed. Bring ALL of your keys, including both fobs and the valet and emergency keys, just in case. The dealer will program the new fobs to match your car, a job that should take about an hour.
Notice that this should require only one trip to the dealership. Again, you need to plan ahead, as getting the fobs delivered could take awhile.
