Default Remote / Key Fob Issues

Hi All,

I just owned an used Audi A6 2.0 TDI (2013) one & i did notice the following issue with the remote key!

Every morning from 10th January, 2016 on wards i am not able to UNLOCK the car with the Remote Key . I have to manually unlock the car with key!. Then, i can still start the car with the "Start/Stop" button & drive. Once i drive to my work. Once, i reach work i am able to lock the car with the remote. Also, when i am start from my work (in evening) i can unlock again with the remote as well as lock the car when i reach home. However in the next morning, the same problem repeats!!

Can you please share your experience/expertise on how to resolve this issue?

Appreciate a lot for your support & earliest response.

Thanks & Regards,

Pradeep

I had the same issue on a back door in C6, which meant that I couldn't lock the car at all. It's not a super cheap fix to have it replaced, but I'd put money that's what you need.

Also you might try parking in a different spot. We have a wireless dog fence in our yard and if I park the car in the driveway on top of where the wire crosses the remote key will not unlock the door due to the electrical interference.

If it is still under warranty, see a dealer and let them cover it.
If you have TWO remote key fobs, try the other fob and see if that works. That would tell you if the car, or just the fob, is broken.
