Default Key fob/remote issues

Hi All,

I just owned an used Audi A6 2.0 TDI (2013) one & i did notice the following issue with the remote key!

Every morning from 10th January, 2016 on wards i am not able to UNLOCK the car with the Remote Key . I have to manually unlock the car with key!. Then, i can still start the car with the "Start/Stop" button & drive. Once i drive to my work. Once, i reach work i am able to lock the car with the remote. Also, when i am start from my work (in evening) i can unlock again with the remote as well as lock the car when i reach home. However in the next morning, the same problem repeats!!

Can you please share your experience/expertise on how to resolve this issue?

Appreciate a lot for your support & earliest response.

Thanks & Regards,

Pradeep

I assume you already tried replacing the key fob battery, yes? Does the same thing happen with your other key fob?

Yes, the same thing happens with other key fob as well! From post 5 days (from the day I owned this car) this problem is happening every morning. After manually opening the car door with the key, starting the car & driving the key fob starts working!

Appreciate a lot for your support.

I had this issue on and off for a week or two. The doors wouldn't open unless I was super close, and the car wouldn't recognize the fob unless it was held next to the sign on the dash. I had the service dept replaced my fob battery. Worked for a couple days and same issue.

I bought a battery on my own and replaced it in the fob. Every since, no problems with the fob.

No need to ask the same question across three threads on the same day.
One should do it.
