Well its most likeley starter or battery if it not turning over at all. You can always have the codes pulled, but trying charging the battery and see if that helps, checking the posts and all the connections and fuses. Im sure you will found it its something simple..

You also might check your clutch pedal switch, or your neutral safety switch (depending if you have an A4 or M6)

clean your battery terminals....

baking soda and lime juice work best, but coke (soda) is almost as good... and a wire brush

I've had this problem before I believe it has to due with the car(the VATS system more specifically) not being able to get the resistance from the resistor on the key. I pulled the key out and wiped the resister off inserted it again and it started without a problem.
