Horn beeps twice

This thread suggests that the problem may be caused by a wiring issue in the top latch.

I went down the same path - got everything working and still had the double beep (and the alarm would go off for no reason every once in a while). I replaced the ignition switch and the double beep went away and no faulty alarm every since. May want to replace it and cross it off the list. The Audi part is cheap - so why not?

I replaced the ignition switch. As elav said, the part is relatively inexpensive. I have replaced it before and I must be learning from my experience. The job required about 30 minutes.

Unfortunately, I am still hearing two beeps about 15-20 seconds after I lock the door. My next step will be to check the top latch and see whether any of the wires have pulled loose. I will also scan the system again with my Durametric to see whether there are any codes.

On the plus side, the window on the passenger door drops when I pull the handle.

Yes, start checking all of the switches. If memory serves you need to check the front and rear trunks, gas flap door, radio, 2 micro switches for the convertible top, center console, door latch mechanisms and the micro switches for the inner and outer door handles. I think those are all of them - but going from memory.

That sounds like the best strategy.
