Default Remote Control

I got an Audi A4 Quattro a couple of days ago and when i got it from the dealer the remote wasnt working. I went back and told them and they said all i have to do is buy the batteries. I went and bought the batteries but the remote still doesnt work. I read sumwhere there was a way to reprogram it. Can anybody help me, or atleast help me find information?
