Audi Q3 key cannot be turned generally because the steering wheel is locked. The solution is to turn the steering wheel while turning the car key to start. The turning of the steering wheel and the turning of the key should be coordinated. You can apply a little more force when turning the key, but be careful not to use brute force, otherwise the key may break. The steering wheel lock is a normal anti-theft function, which is set by the manufacturer for safety considerations when the car leaves the factory. After the car is turned off, if the steering wheel is moved, the car's computer will assume that the car is being stolen and automatically activate the anti-theft function, at which point the steering wheel will be locked. You can also check the car's manual, which will have a clear explanation. If the problem still cannot be solved after trying, you can only contact the 4S store or a professional auto repair shop for help from professionals.
