Never experienced anything like that on my A4 B8, I can't see a button needing coding though, there's no "control" in a button. The central convenience module shouldn't need making aware of a button change either. Is the replacement button from a facelift or pre-facelift?

On the fob? It happens on all keys and it was intermittent and getting worse over a few weeks. Both fobs have batteries that are not that old.

Checked out the new facelift A3 saloon in the dealership yesterday. Very nice, front end is quite noticeably different and in line with the new A4.

I think it's £450. I took out a car with virtual cockpit, and to be honest the novelty wore off during the 2 hours I had the car. I can fully appreciate it in say the TT, where there is no center display, and it would have been a far better idea than the awful "iPad on the dash" approach of the new A4, but I just couldn't see myself using it.
It might help resale, but looking at the types of cars being specced on Audi-Sport.net, most people buying them seem to want a pretty basic specced manual, with privicy glass.
I ummed and aared about it for the best part of a month (with the A3 initially), but decided against it in the end.

I think its amazing...but yeah, if you get a centre mmi screen anyway then is there much point?
Spent a very fruitful day at my local Audi dealer yesterday. Test drove a 16 plate A6 Black Edition saloon (I want an Avant but they only had a saloon to hand). Sales exec was very knowledgeable and helpful and is going to try to find a used car that fits my needs and budget.

Unfortunately you will have to purchase the tech pack at around £1,400...

Wouldn't everyone be doing that anyway though? Well, I would be anyway, maybe not everyone I guess.
Quite common I believe, I've had to replace my passenger door lock mechanism a year ago. Apparently the solder dries out. With mine it would occasionally unlock but would always lock when I had manually opened the door.
I know that the A6 lock mechanisms fit my S3 so the chances are they are the same on the A4 too.
Yes but it isn't the bargain £450 as suggested by yourself. Just pointing that out that, in reality, it is just about £1,000 more...
Still gonna be a bargain though. Will completely refresh the interior of the motor for the whole time you own it, plus be a massive plus point for potential buyers when you sell it.
I was an extra £500-600 for the MFD on my 5 series, and it was easily the best option box I ticked.

The problem with the F10 MFD though is that it's a missed opportunity - it looks epic but doesn't actually add any meaningful functionality. The Audi system is better in this regard - it adds functionality whereas the F10 MFD simply moves existing functionality around and makes it prettier.
Yes, which is why, to me at least, the Audi system is a no brainer.
The phone number lookup and media selection, from the steering wheel controls, are far better with the MFD though. I had a rental without it, and realised the difference immediately. The whole inside of the rev counter turns to the list, making it so that the list is much bigger, and thus easier to navigate.
