Yup, sure it could be if the car was that young!!
Title of post: “Audi A5(Dec 17”)

 A5 S Line (Dec 17)

Has anyone had an issue with an A5 front passenger sun visor? Mine detached itself today my having had it rotated it thru’ 90 deg to screen off the stroboscopic effect of the sun through roadside trees.

It seems to have broken off from the hinge point but there seems only to be 2 tiny pins within the hinge point attachment (although these are probably the electrical contacts for the vanity mirror light?). See attached photos.

Very disappointing on a 3 yr old car which hasn’t been abused.

Well, how’s about having a red face!! The “chap who might know” did indeed visit and……..removed the film on the battery which then allowed the fob to work as advertised☺️
 

He also advised that, in respect of the alternative key reading position in the centre storage console - apparently it’s often necessary to try the key in different positions next to the “key” sign. I thought I’d done this when I previously suspected a dud fob battery but he assured me it would work and allow the vehicle to recognise a key regardless of battery power. Have yet to try again!

Thanks Gareth- it was your advice that led me to the Google search tips - just that, in spite of the respective video titles I couldn’t find one that matched my vehicle. Am consulting my local garage who has “a chap who might know” visiting tomorrow!!!

I’ve looked through the various “re-programming” videos but none seem to address the push button start versions as per my 2017 A5.

I also note that the standby key symbol in the cup holder is not a functioning option when I suspected my key battery had gone flat. 

Why should such “simple” problems be so b….y difficult to resolve?😩

Why would one of my key fobs for my Audi A5 S Line (2017) not work at all - even when the battery has been renewed (and fitted correctly) while my second key fob works fine?

The button (B) operation on P73 of the A5 operating manual for adjusting the front seat head rests doesn’t seem to work - pressing it as instructed merely moves the back of the seat. What am I doing wrong?
