Sarah is saying on YouTube that she thinks the person used some sort of signal booster or transmitter, implying that it was locked.

So I called my audi dealer (I have an sq5) and a service tech looked at the video and said the car was left unlocked. The factory default is that the lights turn on when you unlock the doors and that doesn't happen. You can set it for that not to happen, but she would have had to manually turned off that feature and that is not likely. Possible, but not likely.


That stuff is generally either dealer programmable or user programmable (on zee german cars it tends to be dealer only), but it's fairly common for dealers to go through those options with owners on delivery. Fair point though, equally possible that it was unlocked!


She also has to say that if she is trying to file a claim with her insurance company. If its unlocked, they will not pay the claim. The first time I watched the video, it appeared to me that front door was locked, but the rear was not.

It looks to me that he has something in his left hand when he is standing in the street looking around before he approaches here vehicle. Does anyone know is the lights of turn signals blink when the vehicle is unlocked with a remote? Also, is there a light that blinks inside the vehicle if its locked and alarm is on? It also looks like he was looking at something in the front seat\dash area before he went to the back door and opened it.

I also believe it is a manual transmission.
