Indents either side of 2016 Audi key

[Ed T]

Quick one as google has not been helpful. As you lie the key down, buttons up, there are two identical indents on the top left and right side of the key, what are these for? (2016 RS6 key but i assume this is no different to other Audi keys other than the RS badge)

Also whilst i'm here, anyone know who i stop the S-tronic box deciding on its own to go from manual to auto mode (Usually when slowing/stopping). This even happens when i'm in full "dynamic" mode. I get that it needs to find the right gear to keep the car going but fairly sure my M3 dropped the gears on its own but kept it in manual

Thanks

Gents thank you, makes lots of sense. It is taking me time to adjust to the mechanical selection of D/P/R/N/M etc... on the beamer it was always in the same place it just registered it electronically. For example I want to jump out of the car all the time when it's in D and the car goes mental at me and I have to push the lever all the way forward. Likewise when I start the car i throw it into D too early and the engine cuts / wont start. Annoying but i'm sure i'll get used to it.

I suspect the indents you're referring to on the key are used to locate the key in the ignition 'lock' when you first push it in

Push it in where? it's push button, and the key lives in my pocket ;-).
