Single remote programming?

I bought a Audi A8 2000 about 2 years back and it only came with a single key, the remote has never worked. I recently got ross-tech VAG-COM and noticed that the car picked up the signals when I pressed any of the keys:
unlock: 0100
lock: 0010
etc.

However when I press the buttons, the car does nothing.
Is there a way to program these codes so the car responds?

Thanks for your response, however, that process requires two keys. I only have one

No valet or wallet key as extra. Just single remote key.

Thanks!
Just buy another key on eBay and have your locksmith cut it. If you have immobilizer then you need to have the dealer program it.

Did you check the lock encoding? I recently changed mine so that all the doors and the trunk unlock with just one push of the remote...rather than one click for the drivers door and a second click to open the rest. I suppose it's possible to (accidentally) disable the locking so that the remote doesn't open anything.

My original lock coding was 16140. I changed it to 16136. Now everything opens with one click.
