2022-2024 Audi A3 / S3 / RS 3 Remote Window Feature TSB

What's the Issue?

Owners of certain 2022-2024 Audi A3, S3, and RS 3 models may discover that the convenient remote window opening/closing feature is not active on their vehicle. This means the windows cannot be operated using the key fob or other remote methods.

This condition is not a malfunction but rather an unactivated feature. The manufacturer communication indicates that these vehicles were produced without this specific functionality enabled from the factory.

Why This Matters

The remote window opening/closing feature offers significant convenience, especially in hot weather or when you need to quickly air out the cabin before entering. Its absence can be an unexpected inconvenience for owners expecting this modern vehicle function.

Manufacturer's Remedy

Audi has issued a manufacturer communication, identified by NHTSA ID 10244611, to address the disabled remote window opening/closing feature. This document outlines a service action for dealerships to enable the functionality.

This service action ensures that affected vehicles receive the intended feature. It is a straightforward process to activate the remote window feature.

Owner Action

If your 2022-2024 Audi A3, S3, or RS 3 does not have the remote window opening/closing feature enabled, you should contact your authorized Audi dealership. Inform them about the missing functionality and reference NHTSA ID 10244611.

The dealership will be able to perform the necessary service action to activate the remote window feature. This procedure is typically covered under warranty as a service action.
