Hello, a couple of days ago I went to open my Audi A6 2000 with my key remotely like I usually do, but the doors kept locking. When I press the unlock button on the key, the car unlocks and immediately locks again. I came up with a way to use the key manually and open the door before the car locks it. It's very weird. Also the car sometimes refuses to let me out! It also sounds the alarm while it's locking me in. The ignition does not start but if I wait about a minute, it stops its tantrum and it lets me use the key. It's very embarrassing! What is the issue? The car recognizes the key but it refuses to open the door. Luckily the tantrum issue is not happening all the time. so now I sneak up on the car and use the key without the remote, unlock and turn the car ON before the monster wakes up. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS THING? Please help me. Judy.
HELLO
`i can garuntee its a faulty conection in a soldering joint inside the lock mechanism inside the door i just fixed it in mine works like a champ now
Sounds like you are having problems with your built-in alarm system. Like most systems in your Audi, you can read the error codes stored in the controllers. It takes a tool normally only a dealer has (VW or Audi) or an adapter like the VAG Com. (Google it)
I also think you can disable the alarm system and just use the key.
Could the lock button on your remote be stuck? Use a different key/remote. (leaving the suspect key at home.) The keys/remotes can be taken apart....

anabil provided an advertisement instead of a solution. Not helpful at all! Audi isn't even in the list. Very deceiving.
It's FINALLY fixed! I'm not scared of my car anymore! I had called the dealership for help. The parts person said that I should bring it in for checkup. I said I just would like to find out if there's a quick fix. He said he'll have a mechanic give me a call if it's something that can be done by the owner. Well today the nice mechanic called me and gave me a couple of instructions and now it's back to normal. The car opens and locks with the remote key and the alarm is behaving! That was an experience to remember. Judith Berns--
Hi, I tried disabeling the alarm system temporarily but I was told it cannot be done.
Also I do have 2 keys for the car. They both have new batteries. The key that I always use looks OK but I tried leaving it inside the house and using the other key. They same thing happens.
After I posted the trouble on Fixya, the car was fine for a couple days and then now it's back doing the same thing.
Thanks for your help but that wasn't it.
