    This is not a "fix" as others have accurately stated. It simply shows another way of starting the car, which can even be found in the manual. I am having this issue with my Audi key fob, and while this "solves" the problem to make the car usable, I am looking at actually fixing the issue with the keyless start.

    With all due respect, how is this titled a "fix"? The car's cluster screen already tells you where you hold your key to get the car started when the key fob is not recognized. It exactly displays what you are explaining here in this video. So this is not a fix by you, Audi already designed for this. Thanks!

      @@MrCARman "you People"? that is not an okay phrase you should use. and I am not ungrateful nor thankful because I didn't learn anything new. All I am saying is what you are describing in your video is already being described and visually shown to you by your car, and very specific. TO answer your other question, I stumbled on this video while I was searching for a similar issue with my key-fob even after I have changed batteries. So...again... because you have titled your video (FIX!) which is misleading to say the least, your video showed up on my search and I thought someone probably came up with a solution! but no, it is what I already know. There is no reason to attack or get defensive when someone points something out to you. It is either called feedback, constructive criticism or correction. You have enabled these already on your video. I did say with All due respect, but it sounds like my comment may have rubbed you the wrong way because you know I am right and everything I said wasn't wrong. Thank you again for the video, but I stand by what I said, your video is not a fix, the title is misleading to more advanced Audi owners like myself and thousands more when we look for specific things. Selecting the right title and keywords for your videos matter otherwise our searches won't return accurate results. Much respect to you as a person and I don't mean to cause you harm or anything.

      Well, that’s a shitty ass attitude to revert to as soon as someone gives you perfectly sound criticism. The car displays word for word what you are describing on the dash. My 5 year old niece could figure it out. Plus your first response is “you people are ungrateful for educational video that has helped thousands, I didn’t even make a buck on it”. Fucking really mate? I practice quite the restraint when it comes to commenting on useless CZcams videos. But this made the mark. Talk about Dunning-Kruger effect.

      You need to buy the right battery for the key fob, meaning the correct voltage, I believe it will properly function if the battery output is 3.0 - 3.2 volts, anything less will give you issues. Also, name brands matter as well. For example Duracell works great while some other name brands don't. If with a new battery the key fob does not respond, meaning the red light on the fob itself is not turning on or flashing when pressing buttons on the fob, then you may have a defective key. You can also go into your car options in the MMI screen, and look at Registered Key Fobs with the vehicle. If you only see one, then it means you may either need to register the second one, or need a replacement. Hope this helps.

      @@mustajabrizvi so after I took my car to Audi and I used VCDS to perform a diag, it shows there is an antenna problem in the car. This antenna gets signal from the key when the key is inside the vehicle, so it can recognize a programmed key then the push-start button creates that connection, ultimately starting the car. From what I understand the antenna in in either one of the doors or the trunk, it is a module, so either the module needs to be changed or the wires, or it is possible dust or water, or even age has deteriorated this wire or the connection tip. So it will either be something cheap or expensive to fix. you Audi techs should be able to determine the absolute cause after they run the diag, then solve for those components one at a time until the issue is resolved.
