What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi prioritizes comfort and convenience. This is why all new models we display come with keyless entry and start. This technology allows you enter your vehicle and start driving while keeping your key fob in pocket or your purse.

1. Proximity Detection
An Audi with proximity detection allows you to enter and start your car without needing to take the key out of your purse or pocket. This authorization and access system works through automatic data exchange between your convenience key and the vehicle which allows you to open the doors and trunk and even activate the engine with just one press on your key.
A sound-based proximity sensor also referred to a capacitive proximity sensor, employs acoustic waves in order to detect the presence of objects in close proximity. The sensors produce an electrical signal by using an oscillator. The signal is transmitted into the air by an audio microphone, which converts it into an audio file. The audio files are then compared to determine their similarity and proximity. When they are close enough the system will send an alert signal to the key and will 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 comes with remote start capabilities that lets you start your car's engine beyond the range of your key's FOB. This can be helpful when you are carrying groceries into the trunk, or securing children in their seats, or packing for a family outing.
