Default Key programming

I got a second key from an Audi dealer and the mechanical aspects work fine (that is, I can lock/unlock the door with it and roll the ignition switch). I followed the programming guides on a website and I got the remote portion to unlock/lock the doors (and it sets up the drivers seat). However, when I go to start the car, it seems to want to start but then stops - the key icon on the tac flashes. Obviously there is one more step I need to do but I don't know what. The dealer is about an hour away and I was hoping this could be something I could do at home. Any help in this regard would be great.

Thanks,
Paul
