try a full reboot of the cars computer and see if resyncing your key helps the issue. First disconnect both battery terminals then touch um togeather to drain the last of the power from the car and leave your car for 15 minutes. After your done put your key in the ignition turn to power on and leave it for 15 minutes. When thats done flip the key to power off then start see if that helps.
Otherwise known as the "two bucket" method.

1# you take one key put into ignition turn on.
2# close door, lock it with the key hole on driver side,with the key you want to program.
3#once it's lock take the key of the door out press the open button once or 2 or 3 or 4 times depending on which key is being reprogrammed(for the seats memory)you will see your side blink every time you press ,wait 6 secs press again once.take the other key in ignition out.
close the door and try locking with the reprogrammed key.
if you lost the program on other key it's just you didn't select the right memory,so set the right number for the right key
Ex:my wife is 1# in memory seat,mine is 2#.
so i had to press twice in 3# step.

I bought a new to me 2001 TT Quattro convertible in February 2017. Received two remote key fobs. One fob battery was dead and one fob worked just fine. Replaced the batteries in the dead fob, followed the instructions above, and now I have two key fobs that work.
THANK YOU!!!

sorry old thread,and possibly wrong area but stuck in freezing weather
my 04 Audi a8l all the sudden wouldn't respond to me walking up to it as usual, hitting unlock button like normal,no lights flash,no door lock/unlock sound..
Purchased brand new battery (same #)installed, still nothing,my car battery isn't dead!! and this car has no external keyhole on doors,and if i use key to open trunk the seats dnt fold down (the trunk shuts automatically, thats why i believe battery in car is fine),remote doesn't work on trunk either,WHAT DO I DO????

Should the car be turned on, in other words running, or should the switch just be clicked to the on position?
I have a 2001 TT and the instructions are not working for me. Wondering if I am missing something
