i cant get into my car. the keypad for the alarm system will not unlock the doors, and i cant use the key to get in. this is the second time in 2 weeks that this has happened, i went to audi and got a new battery for the keypad, everything went back to normal. i got home from school this afternoon locked up the whip, and went back out about 2 hours later and the keypad wont work.... suggestions, ideas, anyone know what the hell is going on???

 

hmmm, why wont key work? if you can get into the car, you can reprogram your remote by doing this

turn on car but do not start engine..
leave key in and car on and get out
close the door and lock the car
hold both remote buttons for like 5 seconds till the car beeps.. this should make the remote work

good luck

 

no you do that and press lock once on the first and twice one the second or at least thats how my 99.5 works

 

i put the key in the door and it wont turn, i assume its an anti theft thing but i dont know. i just know its really a pain in the *** to not be able to get into my car... has this happened to anyone else??? i wonder if maybe my car battery is going bad, but dont think the car alarm draws that many amps that it would stop the car from unlocking due to a bad battery.
it would be great to reset the alarm keys but i cant get into the car at all.

 

hmm thats wierd maybe the door lock is Flucked up Mine did that once but instead of not turning it turned and turned forever and never did anything and it was like $280 to replace the lock assembly

 

try the other key... you have 2 keys i assume?( my 96 has 2 different keys, 1 door and glove and one ignition) and try turining the other way, give it a little pressure
and badluck i think the systems on 96's are diff, mine works how i said but my moms 01 1.8 works like you said
