Replace the battery. After sitting for 6 months it's beyond jump starting. The computers continue to draw power even with the ignition off. So that battery is absolutely stone cold dead! You might have to be towed to your local Audi Dealer for the computers to be reprogrammed (flashed). On many newer vehicles the computers must be powered up at all times, including when you replace the battery. Otherwise they lose their memory. Try replacing the battery first and go from there. Hope that helps! Jim
