What is the Audi Advanced Key?

Audi vehicles are designed to provide comfort and convenience, which is the reason the latest models in our showroom feature keyless entry and start. This technology lets you access to your car and begin driving, while keeping your key fob in pocket or in your purse.

The system is controlled by proximity sensors that are located in the trunks, doors and key fobs. Here are some things you need to be aware of Audi Advanced Key:

1. Proximity Detection

An Audi equipped with proximity detection enables you to enter and start your vehicle without having to take the key from your pocket or purse. The access and authorization system works through automatic data exchange between your convenience key and your car which allows you to open the trunk and doors, and even start the engine with just a touch of a sensor button on your key.

A sound-based sensor, also called capacitive sensors, detects the presence of objects nearby using acoustic wave. The sensors use an oscillator to create the signal, which is transmitted through the air and picked up by an audio microphone, which transforms it into an audio file. Then, the audio files are evaluated to determine the degree of similarity and how close they are. If they are close enough that the system sends a wake-up signal to the key and send an ID signal that is in line with the vehicle.

Proximity detection is only the first step towards a more comfortable driving experience. The Audi advanced key also has remote start, which allows you to start your car's engine from outside of the range of your key FOB. This is useful when you are carrying groceries into the trunk, securing children in their seats or packing for an family adventure.

The Audi advanced key system makes use of proximity sensors in the trunk lid and doors together with a radio pulse generator in the key fob. If the key fob is within roughly five feet of the vehicle, the sensors will detect your presence and open the doors.
