Default Broken in again.

I posted just a short while ago about my car being broken into with no signs of forced entry.
Well they did it again last night. Luckily I don't keep anything in my car of value anymore.

The windows were down that may be how they are getting in.

What are my options?

I don't know much about programing the keys, but can I get the frequency changed or something?

If somehow my key has been copied I assume the only way to fix this is to have the locks completely replaced.

let me know what you guys think.
Thanks.
Happy holidays.

Default vag-com the central convenience module and check for key adaptation surpassed fault code...

... if this is present then they could be using a remote, otherwise it could be the physical locks. They know you now too so they could keep coming back.

You could at least reprogram the central convenience module to disable the window opening feature completely.

Sounds like you have the perfect "bait" car - set up a hidden camera and catch them.

Default Friend of mine had the same issue years ago only his car was stolen from his....

garage.

Ended up finding out that the mechanic at Audi had a copy of his key and stole it from his house.

Default Thanks for the ideas.....

I saw a set of security cameras at costco a while ago and nearly purchased them. I going to look into it further. I have a jerk neighbor who blocks my parking spot so maybe i can catch him too haha.

Thanks for the ideas I am definitely going to disable the window convenience features. I never use them anyway.
