Audi key fob resync

Thargor

Years ago I replaced the key fob battery on a 2004 Audi A4 tdi and resynced the key fob after it stopped working. I dont actually remember what we did but I could swear it involved pressing the unlock button multiple times while sitting in the car with the doors locked. Now Im trying to do it again years later and all the instructions for it tell you to turn the key in the ignition with the unlock button held down for 2 seconds, like this tutorial:

Im 90% sure thats not how we did it though, it was something to do with being in the car with the doors locked, I dont have a second key to use either so cant go down that route.

​​​​​​​Can anyone think of a different way of doing it with only one key? Thanks.

Put key in ignition in the on position for ten seconds. Take out and press the lock button is how I did it on my a4. It dosent have a key thou just a push in fob.
