[s-cars] 95.5 S6 Trunk Unlock Problem

[Stott Hare]

I hear you there.  My car apparently was offended that I addressed the 
seized ebrake cables, the stuck open thermostat, the ripped CV boot and 
neglected tune-up items, that it decided to to stop responding to the IR 
remote.  New batteries for the key/remote last month, a $3 duplicate key 
and a 30 second reprogramming sequence last month had the IR remote 
system working flawlessly.  Now both IR receivers are apparently 
ignoring me altogether.  I guess it's time to reference the Book of 
Robert for the appropriate sacrificial ceremony to appease the Audi gods 
I somehow angered.
