Default Problem with Remote entry

I am having intermediate problems with opening my car using the remote.
I got two sets of keys and being the only driver I was using one set….The problem started to occur a month since I got the car and it was getting worst (more frequent).
So I just put that key away and I started to use the second set which initially worked without any problems but now it too starts to show the same problem.

Any ideas?

Default I've seen them...but no updates in a while...

some peeps said they would post updates if they had luck taking care of it.
Also, some people didn't really specified the nature of the problem....just that the remote doesn't work.

Default You need new keys

Symptom: remote entry system forgets your keys. You can fix the problem by using the procedure in the manual to reaclimate the system to the keys, but it will last for only a few days (or less).

My dealer replaced mine a few days ago, saying that there was a service bulletin on the keys. This week, I haven't had the system forget them anymore. But we'll see.

Default Was going to wait till fixed...

Clair Audi/ West Roxbury, Boston - Totally cool dealer. The sales guy has provided a senario:

- There is a problem
- The fix is coming
- Hopefully, things will be address by my 5k service (~900 miles)

Alternative Answer: Check with your dealer, if they don't have a solution - one is on the way. It is the key fob.
