[s-cars] Trouble Programming IR Remote

[chris chambers]

Paul,

Step #1 determine if the key is emitting an infra red beam.
Turn on your smart phone, start your camera app..Point your key at the lens of the camera and press the button.
If you see a "white" dot appear on the IR emitter it's working. If you don't see a dot then your key isn't emitting an 
infra red beam and it isn't the car.

 The IR remote on my 95 S6 stopped
 working last winter and I'm trying to 
 get it working again.  I've replaced the batteries with
 the correct type 
 of battery and verified they are installed correctly -
 2-positive down 
 towards the key end and 2-negative down towards the key ring
 end.
 
 I've tried to follow the manual for programming the control
 unit with 
 the key codes but haven't had any luck.  Here are the
 instructions I 
 followed:
 1. Insert any key into the steering lock and switch on the
 ignition 
 (turned to ON position but did not start vehicle)
 2. Lock the vehicle with another key on the driver's side.
 Remove the key.
 3. Point the key whose code is to be programmed at the IR
 sensor and 
 briefly press the transmitter button on the key once (to
 program this 
 key for memory position #1).
 4. The anti-theft alarm should sound briefly after each
 signal to 
 confirm proper reception.
 5. Wait 5 seconds after entering the last pulse and then
 press the 
 button once again.  The vehicle should unlock and the
 programming is 
 finished.
 
 I don't ever get the anti-theft alarm signal in step #4
 above. Could my 
 IR receiver have died?  Any troubleshooting wisdom from
 the list?
 
 TIA,
