Advanced key eats a lot more battery power to provide that cool feature
You need new set of batteries. I am not kidding but try Dollar store. They have it and it works great. I use them on all of our Audi Cars but Q& advanced key drains them in about 6-8 months.

Update
I haven't had a chance to buy the batteries but I tried my wife's key last night and all remote functions were dead. I could still start the engine with the key inserted but that was pretty much it. Still no message regarding the key battery though. I plan to buy two batteries tonight or tomorrow. At least my key still works (apart from a single moment with "no key identified" yesterday morning - but again, the advanced key started the engine after I pressed the unlock button and there was a response). I'm curious that the EPC light was on upon starting this afternoon but when I stopped after a few hundred yards at a curb and restarted the engine it was gone. Weird...

Resolved - Collective wisdom of the forum rules!
I replaced both key batteries and everything works perfectly once again. Thanks to all who shared their experiences!

BTW how long have you had your Q
Just curious to see if there is a pattern or general timescale for these failures.
Also see new thread up top regarding electrical fails started today.

Re: It's a standard CR2032 battery you can pick up at any drug store
Thanks for the info. Mine is acting up and likely needs new battery. Do you think it has something to do with the cold weather? It coincided when temperature dropped to the mid 30's.
BTW, due to recert too - - - NephSap.

Help!!
Remote key not recognized
Hello
I have an audi s5 2009
I was under the battery
And when charging the car battery
The keyless does not open or close doors
Neither turn on with the button
I have to put the key to the switch to turn on
But pressing the start button flashes the key
Does anyone know something? I Try changing the battery of the keyless but it did not work either
