Default Antenna mounted to rear bumper support, above rear exhaust on driver's side..

...so I'm told by a local VW/Audi repair shop whose done good work for me before. I will check & let you know. He, too, shows the central locking control module under the driver's seat.

Default Keyless Entry range INCREASED to 100ft!!!! And took all of 45 minutes.

Thanks to everyone for their help & input!!! The clincher was a tip from my local VW/Audi tech, who said that the antenna was attached to the rear bumper support on the driver side. Sure enough, there was a coax-looking wire coming out of the body via a gromet & attached by like a tie-wrap to the metal bumper (seen by looking up thru the valence with a flashlight). I then went into the trunk & removed the driver's side panel door & felt around & look around @ the back of the cavity & right by the felt-trunk wall I found the same coax-looking cable. However, it was really just a tube, with an antenna wire running into it. I was able to just pull the ant. out of the tube & continue to pull it out of the wiring harness, next to the jack. I pulled it all the way out till it was @ the roof of the trunk. I then fed it thru the roof of the trunk & into the back of the rear seat & up onto the very back driver side window (the little one). I did this real quick @ lunch & thus could probably pull it even more out of the wiring harness & mount it in an even better place. But, as is, I now get 100ft keyless entry range on my 2000 A6 2.7t, w/o modifying the remote FOB or central locking control module!!!! Yes, now I can open/close my windows from the house. I still don't know where that thing is & really......it doesn't matter at this point. Enjoy the range!!!
