Second key buttons programming?
I have only ever used my primary glossy key fob. This past weekend I tried using my dull second set. I went outside and nothing. It would not open the doors. If I opened with my phone, the car did start when I placed the key on the key pad.
I changed the battery and now I get nothing. No open/close and it will not start.
How do I re synch my second key fob with my car?

I think you never need to re-sync the keys, unless you have had the comfort access module replaced/serviced (In that case, the workshop should ask for both keys before doing the job).
Does the small red LED on the non-functioning key light up when you press the buttons? If not, the battery might not be fully inserted. BTDT, it's a bit fiddly despite seemingly looking trivial.

Update:
In that weird Audi way, the secondary key fob just started working eventually. I simply cannot say what caused it to work. A button sequence or being in my pocket while using the primary FOB in the car. It just went from zero actions to fully usable and I have no idea why.
