Re: Remote key
Thanks for the responses, but it now appears that it was the battery in both cases. I believe that the problem has been that the batteries I have been buying are, for one reason or another, not reliable.

Re: Remote key
Try putting key in ignition and they using them. That worked for me and resets the remote after you put in the new battery.

Re: Remote key
The best thing to do if the batteries are not an issue is to take the remote appart use a Q-tip and alcohol and clean the contacts with the battery removed that is leave it to dry as it drys fairly quickly and re-assemble and there is your new remote.
Also depending on the remote model etc the contactors get bent out of shape and need to be bent back out a bit further so they make a proper contact. Hope that helps! If you want a write up with photos send me one of your keys :D As I sold my Audi :(! |
Re: Remote key
Yes
For mine I had to replace the batteries, clean the contacts (like 1move suggested) then I had to put the key in the ignition and start the car(as Gaudi suggested)...and then all was good. |
