hi guys,
this morning i went out to start the beast n go for a cruise. So i unlocked it with the key remote and got in, put the key in the ignition n started her up.
It ran for a sec n then died on me. I looked at the display and the immobiliser light was flashing. So i tried with the spare key and still the same result. :w:
Have any of you had this problem? any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Yeeks, this is not common. Maybe Grizz will see this and chime in.

My old S8 did that once - they had to take it to the shop via flatbed and replace the instrument cluster.

Jtessman's comment reminds me that I had this issue when I installed my RNS-E unit, which required removing the instrument cluster. I failed to fully snap in one of the wires connectors into the back of the cluster. Same result. Were you doing any work on the car in that area?

Hi LIRS6, No, no work was being done on the car. I am baffled at what would cause this. I called up the audi dealership and they're getting a tow truck first thing monday morning to take it back to the dealership, hopefully its a easy fix.:mech:
It seems that my beast spends more time in the shop then on the road :noshake:

Thanks guys for all the help.
