Audi Key Fob Boot Opening Time
Hi
New to the forum and have a couple of questions ...
1. My boot on my new Q5 is open at random times. It could be that the key fob is going off in my pocket. Looks like it opens after holding down for 1 sec and seems to work from around 100m
a. If I want to change the time that the key fob needs to be pressed before opening, is this an easy job for a dealership ? Does it cost and do I need the car to go in for the day ? Looks like I could do that via USB port with a device otherwise.
b. Do these key fobs really work from such long distances ? Any way of reducing that ?
2. The electronic handbrake doesn't come on when I park the car and get out. Any way of having that happen automatically in case I forget ?
3. On the wireless charging mat, I quite often put my iPhone and it works most of the time except annoyingly, I get a message from time to time on the dash saying it can't be charged as there is something else in the cradle (even though there isn't and there's nothing plugged into the USB).
Thanks !
Andy

I have exactly the same problem, I often go out and find the boot open.
Very annoying, not sure if the button on the remote is too sensitive to movement in my pocket.
I now leave the keys on the shelf at home, but that is risky as people have been known to break into houses to get the keys to steal the car, in my pocket they are less vunerable.
Handbook as always has everything but what I actually want to know, as I would willingly turn off the option and just press the button on the boot.
I turned off the window opener when 'open' button pressed for a time as I got fed up with wet seats! You cannot seem to do this for the boot.
You are not alone !

I disabled fob button using vcds
Connect a VCDS interface to the vehicle.
Select “09-Cent. Elect.” to access the Central Electrical Control Module.
Select “Security Access” and enter code 31347 and click the “Do It!”
Select “Adaptation”, Click on the “Channel” selector drop-down menu then select “(12)-Access control-Direkter Auswurf des Heckdeckels”.
The “Stored Value” should read “active”. Now, select “New Value” selector drop-down menu, and select “not Active”. Select the “Do It!” button.
A window will pop up to confirm the changes you are making, it should state that you are changing the value: FROM: “active” TO: “not active. Click on the “Yes” button to confirm the changes.
