What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi vehicles are designed to provide comfort and convenience, which is why the latest models we have in our showroom offer keyless entry and start. This technology allows you access to your car and begin driving while keeping your key fob in your pocket or purse.
This system works through proximity sensors located in the doors and trunks, coupled with an electronic key radio in the key fob. Here are some of the things you need to know about Audi Advanced Key:
1. Proximity Detection
Audi proximity detection enables you to open and get into your car without having to take the key out of your pocket or purse. This system lets you unlock the doors of your car and trunk, as well as the engine, by a single click of the sensor button on the key.
A sound-based proximity sensor, also known as a capacitive proximity sensor makes use of acoustic waves to detect the presence of nearby objects. The sensors make use of an oscillator to create a signal that is then transmitted through the air and received by an audio microphone, which transforms it into an audio file. The audio files are examined to determine the degree of similarity and how close they are. When they are within a certain distance, the system will send a wake-up message to the key. It will also send an ID signal to the vehicle.
The first step toward an easier and more comfortable driving experience is proximity detection. The Audi advanced key also has a remote start capability, which allows you to start your car's engine from outside of the range of your key's FOB. This can be helpful when you are loading groceries into the trunk, or securing children in their seats, or packing for a family trip.

When the key fob is in of your purse or pocket you can press the Start/Stop button in the center console to activate the engine. The car's sensors check the authenticity of the key fob, and when it's confirmed the engine will begin.
