tiptronic doesn't work in D

Make sure you're stopped first. Also be sure your not forcing shifts. The computer doesn't like early shifting. All else failes put it in manual mode. In drive and sport the computer will always take over.

I'm not a 100% sure for the A5, but normally the Audi transmission programming allows for temporarily overriding the automatic gear selection with the paddles in D and S, however, after about 10 seconds of no activity it automatically goes back to automatic mode. To stay in manual mode and use the paddles you have to move the shifter to manual mode. Do the paddles work if you move the shifter to manual mode? But also even in manual mode with the Tiptronic, the paddles are often just a suggestion and the computer still has the final say if it allows the shift you are requesting. Dual clutch transmissions and more sporty implementations of the Tiptronic in cars such as the RS7 are generally more responsive to driver requests.
