Does anyone know the maximum distance from the car you can be and still be able to lock/unlock the car?

The reason I ask is I have to be fairly close to my car, 10-15Ft. I replaced battery with new with no results. Is there programming to extend the distance??

Thanks for your input!

OOOO

 

The original remote for my car from 00 works about 10-15ft away, the new remote I bought a month or so ago works about 50 feet away. The new remote must have more transmitting power, since I have changed the batteries in the 00 remote and it works no better or worse.

There is a guy (a4r6) in the classifieds misc selling new oem uncut remotes, I think I paid 60.00 shipped.

 

Jeff, just wondering how much it cost for you to get it cut and programmed to work with your car. Did you get it done at an Audi dealer?

 

I didn't get the new key cut, I plan on it and since the blade is oem the dealer said they would do it but I never asked how much. I would imagine it would be less than 10 bucks since you can get a spare key, and they cut it for 11.00. I just swaped the tops of the keys. As for programming it, since I have a pre-immobilizer A6 I did it myself.
