In this video, you will learn how to reprogram an Audi key. This specific procedure is for an A4, but it is fundamentally the same for all models of the brand. If the key does not unlock or lock the vehicle anymore, even if the battery inside is still good, and when you press the button the unlock light flashes normally but nothing happens (and the same goes for locking the vehicle), you need to get inside the car and press the lock button once.

Then, insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the second position. Wait a moment and then turn it to the first position.

Remove the key and press the lock button again. Exit the car and try it. Now the key works.
