Hey guys, just picked up my Q a couple of weeks ago, it came with two keys, one of which had a dead battery. I put the new one in, but the car doesn't recognize it. My car has the prestige package with the Audi Advanced key, proximity entry and push button start.

I am new to VCDS, but used VW TOOLS in the past. I tried following the remote control matching procedure in the WIKI, but when holding the unlock, car does nothing and the key doesn't program. Procedure link below.

http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/vw-remote-matching.html

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Bump. Anyone have any suggestions? My VDO display is now telling me that my battery is low in my working remote, which makes me wonder if it will lose function upon battery replacement???

I updated the orginal post with my most recent auto-scan there is a fault code for key 2, lower limit exceeded, however, I have no idea what that exactly means.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Not a lot of information on this... According to what I've coming up with, it looks like this is normally a battery issue. Are you sure the battery in the remote is in correct? I've seen people get them in backwards. It is possible that the remote itself is bad.

Regards.

That procedure doesn't apply to this vehicle because the remotes are automatically matched to the Address 05: Acc/Start Auth. (KESSY) when a new remote equipped key is added to the vehicle with a direct online connection to the Audi mothership. Our main Immobilizer page may be helpful but the system in this vehicle isn't supported by VCDS.

Hopefully.. this is just a battery connectivity issue rather than a faulty key/remote.

Thanks so much for the replies.
The fob in question has the battery in correctly, the red light on the upper right flashes every once in a while and rapidly when getting close to the car.

But as ya'll have stated, I have been unsuccessful getting the remote to program to the car, even though the cut key portion of the fob opens, locks, and starts the car, so I'd assume at one point this fob worked with the car.

I replaced the battery in my working fob today, and it is still working luckily :-)

So, is there anyway I can get this thing programmed, or is time for a trip to the stealer?

Thanks again for the replies, it's much appreciated.

Trevor

Hi Trevor,

I think the dealer is your best bet but... if you only have one functional fob I would be tempted to order a new key by VIN from the dealer a few days prior to the appointment. That won't be cheap but they'll charge you labor to try to match the old ones either way .. so you may leave the dealer with one functional key if that old one is faulty and you don't have a spare on-site.

If the old key was simply confused, and they can rematch it, I suppose my suggestion will result in additional cost and three fully functional keys but that's better than only one functional key for the same labor costs.

P.S. I shoulda clarified, and the dealer should when scheduling, but make sure all of the vehicle keys are present for the appointment.

Also, with your good key, switch on the ignition but do not start the car. Press the SET button on the instrument cluster. You should see 'Lx/x'.

Please report what the x's are.

Thanks for the tip Dana, I still haven't taken care of this, but hopefully soon. Zenerdiode, I will do as you recommended and report back.

Thanks!
