Hi all,

2014 A7, which I believe is the same key as the A6.

The remote key still works but the little light flashes red a couple of times after activation.

Does this mean it's lost coding or battery is low?

I haven't changed or attempted to change the battery.

Thanks

How long does it continue to flash for after you've locked / unlocked the car?

Mine flashes for a few seconds afterwards and then stops.

That's exactly the same as mine, just a few seconds.

I haven't spotted this before.

Is it a standard thing that I have only just noticed?

Cheers
 
Rhyso, thanks so much.

That's very reassuring, maybe I just hadn't noticed it before.

Cheers
 
I believe (I may be wrong though) that's the car communicating with the key and downloading mileage and also changing the rolling immobiliser and key coding

Sounds sensible.

I did notice that it's not happening today, so it's an intermittent thing.
