Bruce, one thing to be aware with the Audi Infrared system... it doesn't wo=
rk in underground garage with florescent lights.  The florescent light seem=
s to bugger the sensing system and you can't unlock/lock your car, you have=
 to use the door key. This is my experience anyhow, and I've never gotten i=
t to work in full florescent lights, sometimes in partial light it will cat=
ch, but most of the time it won't... it's a major pain in butt.

Just so you know...

Cheers, /James. '93 S4
