Default Locked Out!!

Arrived at the airport from being gone 8 days and by mistake hit the panic button, wouldn't shut off by hitting all the buttons on key ring
now I can't get into the car at all, it will not accept the my key settings at all. Car is now locked and I can't get in. I called Audi Roadside, not alot of help I must say. They said to hit lock, unlock twice to reset key, didn't work. They suggested towing to dealer but height restrictions in parking garage at airport maybe be an issue, I am calling dealer first thing this morning. Any ideas, might be a good Kimbo question.

Default Not sure what YR you have. Did you lift the door handle and put the key in the lock?

To see if you could get in and go from there..once inside. Open the door with the key, start the car and proceed as normal, it should reset itself.

Default Re: Locked Out!!

I've had a few times where I've hit the unlock button and was too far away from the car and it caused it to no longer recognize my key fob unlock/lock. Solution is to open the door with the key, start the car and proceed as normal. The system apppears to reset itself as the next time the key fob is used it works correctly. Has happened about 3 times in 2 years.
