An ambulance and fire truck showed up, and as they struggled to slim jim the lock basically told my wife if they couldn't get it open in the next couple of minutes, they would have to break the window. Luckily they were able to get it open without breaking anything, and my son, although drenched in sweat from head to toe, was fine.

iNfiNkC - what do you mean by door cards? Do you have any pics of what you did? I would like to prevent this from ever happening again.

Thanks!

She had no idea why that happened and when inside got the spare key and unlocked it. I found the story interesting but figured it was just some strange combo of things that happened (and I know if NFC is turned on on her phone it can mess with the cars ability to detect the key if they are next to each other.

I then had it happen to me once in the garage but I didn't take the time to figure out what was going on.. my wife had the extra key on her and we just unlocked it. Well.. I should have taken it to the dealer...

yesterday I get a call from my wife standing in the parking lot of the gym freaking out. She opened the rear door, loaded up our 2 year old, dropped her gym bag (with the key) in the passenger seat, then shut the door so that she could walk around and get in. When the door closed the doors locked, car beeped.. and now the key and our 2 year old were locked in (on a nice 80 degree day) And to make things worse.. the spare key (my key) happened to be in the center console... so both keys were locked inside. Yikes. No clue what is going on. The car shouldn't lock itself and it certainly should lock if the keys are inside.

I called 911 (that is what Audi told me to do) and they came and helped out. Had a tow truck and our local audi dealer show up to help out and they managed to use a pole to hit the trunk-open button on the remote on my key. All is well.. kid is fine as it was early and didn't get all that hot.

I am going to run the car to the dealer so they can figure this out but anyone out there have any clue as to what is going on?.. and how the car would lock itself AND lock with the keys inside? We checked and there is no way anything hit the "lock" button my wife's key in her gym bag.
