I would like to ask the local dealer to see if they can change the key fob setting, would be nice to know you have to hold it for 4 / 5 seconds, more or less no inadvertent openings especially with bikes on the back.
Here is an example of an Audi key fob cover that may solve the problem:

It amazes me that Audi does not know how to make key fobs and this appears to be a long standing problem.

Doesn't appear that this fits a Q7 4-button key fob - link for the Q7 cover:

Q7 Key Fob Cover Q7 Key Fob Cover

Minus the protective ridges though, so may not be as effective....

I just picked one. There are quite a number of Audi covers on Amazon.
