Auto unlock not working
just had the shifter assembly replaced on my 2006 A6 Vert b/c the shift lock solenoid was acting up and now the auto unlock feature isn't working. I tried resetting the DIC programs and resaved it to driver one as well as disconnecting the battery for a few seconds hoping it would reset thing.... Also replaced FOB battery but still no joy
Any help on what to try next would be appreciated.
TIA

I don't know how the doors get the signal that the shifter is in park and to unlock. Coincidences are possible, but this sure seems suspicious.

What I'd try next is going back to the someone else who obviously did something wrong. I assume you paid to have the repair done correctly and apparently it wasn't. If you attempt to fix their error using advice from other people, the original someone else can and most likely will claim you damaged something and you'll end up paying to get their screw-up fixed.
Hopefully you paid with a credit card, since that gives you a little clout if the someone else doesn't fix or refuses to fix the problem.
I'm not thinking this is a major problem for the someone else to fix, but if you had to have the someone else do the initial repair, I'm guessing you don't have the ability to fix the current problem.

So if I understand it correctly, you had a problem with the shifter, someone else did a repair for you, and now the doors don't unlock when you shift into park like they did before the repair.

New forum member who asked for help hasn't ever come back. Must be a troll. I've removed my helping comments.
