Had exactly same problem with my Volvo. They thought it was either the
chip in the key or the receiver in the ignition. Turned out the ignition
barrel was on its way out and had it replaced (way overpriced but what
choice do you have?). Seems OK now.

Hope this helps

Try using a different key. May need a new halo ring. Find someone with a
VAG com or VAG com software that can read the immobiliser.

The goal when driving is to miss the maximum number of objects.
