Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but the batteries dying doesn't
mean you need to re-program the remote, as I discovered last year with
the remote for my '98 A6. The batteries that were in there were 2025's,
I think, but looked the same as a 2032 (more common). I tried 2032s
with no luck, found some 2025s, no luck, went back to the 2032s and it
worked great! Not sure why it took some trying, but it's been fine for
a year now, no programming involved.
Good luck!

Interesting... but I would've thought it'd be the other way around,
then...the batteries that WERE in the remote were 2025s, and it didn't
work when I first put in the 2032s. Ah well - thanks for the info. My
eyes couldn't tell them apart!
