If you have a 1996 A6, chances are you have the IR remote keyless entry 
system.  It's fine, 6 feet 
is much better than sticking your key in the door locks.  People just have 
expectation issues.

Later models, like the 2000 mentioned below, got the RF signal version.  As 
everyone here should 
know, radio waves (RF) travel much further than infrared line of sight 
systems (IR).

Do you really need to unlock and lock your car from 50 meters away?   Audi 
converted to the RF 
system in 1998.
