replaced ignition switch, but getting ignition lock defective on dashboard

What is your question?

I was having problems removing the key from the ignition switch, so I put a new ignition switch in, the key works it turns the car on, but it doesn't open door automatically, and on the dash there is a message ignition lock defective, but the scanner gives me a message 00166.

How long has your 2009 Audi Q5 had this problem?

few weeks

Hello, have you performed proper procedures to ensure the new component is programmed properly to the vehicle? Is your new switch an original Audi part? It sounds like some installation programming may be needed. Use this link to find some shops near you that can help with your concern: www.repairpal.com/repair-shops
