Tighten the unlock button for 10 seconds, hold on tight
Tighten the central locking button 3 times, will make the locking of doors

i tried the above method many times and got fed up... i know this question is silly, but honestly i have experienced this problem only on bmw cars with IR remotes

The reason me being desperate now is that i tried to program a remote on a customers car, but i managed to erase this working remotes as well. i tried the sync process again and again but no success

I've never worked with these IR remotes (don't have them in Canada) but I had a mid 90s audi and it turned out the IR signal was weak. If you haven't already, take a look at the signal through a digital camera to see if the light is bright.
