Default 2010 A6 Quattro - door unlocking problem

For some reason the passenger side door on my 2010 A6 3.0T does not always unlock by the remote. It happens about 50% of the time. Today, the door would not unlock from the power lock switch on the drivers side. The only way to open the passenger door was by pulling the handle from the inside of the car.

I reset the MMI, and made sure all the central locking options were turned on in MMI.

Anyone have any suggestions or help?

I know this sounds crazy, but do you have an aftermarket battery?

I had this problem - even bought a replacement door lock actuator.

Ended up replacing the car battery with an OEM one after that didn't fix the problem and all good since!

Not that I am aware of. The problem only started 2 weeks ago, I have the car for about 4 months. Actually it started when it got cold outside.
