Hello Clifford,

There may be an issue with the micro switch/es on the key fob, and if so, that would have to sorted before any re syncing. eBay has been a source of replacement micro switches for some makes, or complete fob assemblies. 

There are a number of suggested procedures for re syncing remotes - some requiring one working fob, and you should find theses via. a Google search. You may be luckier than me, but I tried most of them without success, when I’ve tried to re sync. my spare fob, but you may have better luck. If not, then it will be a matter of getting the fob reprogrammed at an Audi dealer or an independent specialist. 

Kind regards,

Gareth.
