2005 B7 - Remote Key Fob Wont Program

[cpjvej2016]

Hi all

I have recently picked up an A4 2005, previous owner changed battery in the key and since then remote buttons on the key havent worked. Sure enough, ive tried to program the key the manual ways (In the ignition, turn on, hold buttons) to no avail. Red light blinks on the key.

 

I have VCDS and upon going into program the keyfob that way, VCDS will not allow me to use the drop down at the top - select Remote Key Fob Adaption.

 

Key works in the doors and starts the car fine.

Faulty CCM?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Have you done the key fob reset?

The video should advise how. 

If that doesn't work then it could be an issue with the CCM, signal receiver.

OK something is going on.

 

After I have clicked Save - its not saving the keyfob - the value goes back to 0.

My Keyfob is not recognised at all but I did find one ion the car that is not from this car (off another Audi) which does say recognised - so my plan was to keep that with the working key and just sue it as a keyfob but Alas, VCDS does not seem to be storing the fob :(.

Update - the 'other' key has randomly started working! Bonus.
