[s-cars] another dumb newbie S-car question...1995.5 door locking procedure

[Peter Schulz]

Even though I have 12 years of audi experience with Type 89s and 44s, 
some of the "basics" are still new to me on this "new" chassis.

How are the power locks _supposed_ to work on the 1995.5s?

The Mrs took the S6 to work for the first time today and had ALOT of 
trouble figuring out how to lock the car using the key.
I double checked the manual and it doesn't say whether to turn the 
key to the left or right.

 From what she told me, She closed the driver's door, tried to lock 
it and nothing happened. Then she opened the door and tried the 
central locking switch, again nothing...then she went around the car 
to each door and locked them manually.

THEN she was able to lock the driver's door with the key....

The central locking button on the inside of the driver's door seems 
so non German...;-)

We purchased the car from a private seller and it came with one RF 
remote and two keys...we of course would like to get at least one 
duplicate...from a locksmith or is this dealer -only?  The RF remote 
needs batteries and I found the FAQ on the S-Cars.org website, so I 
know how to synchronize it.

Thanks for any advice, excluding the Mrs bashing.
..those of you who have met my wife know that she can hold her own ;-)
(she repacked a CV joint for me a week before our wedding...breaking 
a number of fingernails in the process, and didn't complain about it)
