Default Got home today tried to lock my car and the key fab just started blinking

really fast and the car wouldn't lock. but it would unlock the car and the trunk would release. I tried it with both of my keys and did the same thing. Any help?

Default The rapid blinking means that the key isn't communicating with the car, like

when it is too far away or you're inside a building. Whenever you lock the car, usually a key will just send the RF signal, and forget about it, but for Audi's, they have it set up so, if it doesn't lock, it will rapidly flash to tell you, it isn't locked.

Since you're right in front of the car, and it doesn't work, I'd say that the antenna inside the car might be broken, or something on the lines of it. I forsee a trip to the dealers...

good luck anyways
