This may be out on the boards somewhere (so don't flame me), but I had no luck finding it, and I want to post it for others. I was needing to reset my radio frequency remotes for my 96 A6 and no instructions I found would work. I finally came across this while browsing my Bentley Technical Bulletins. Here's what worked:

From Technical Bulletin 96-95-05 "Central Locking, Radio-Controlled"

-In addition to transmitters (remotes), two vehicle keys are also needed for coding.
- Switch on ignition.
- Using second key, slowly lock vehicle at driver's side door lock, smoothly without jerking key in tumbler.
- Activate both transmitter (remote) buttons for at least 4 seconds.

-- The system should now be functional.

(For additional remotes...)

- Lock vehicle again at driver's side door lock, turn key slowly and smoothly in tumbler.
- Activate both buttons of second transmitter for at least 4 seconds.

(Continue for up to four transmitters)

-- When coding is completed, central locking is functional


I added the stuff in parenthesis. It works great now. I thought I was going to have to replace it. Just FYI for everyone. Thanks.
