What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi vehicles prioritize comfort and convenience, which is the reason the latest models in our showroom feature keyless entry and start. This technology allows you get into your car and start driving while keeping your key fob inside your pocket or in your purse.
This system operates through proximity sensors located in the doors and trunks paired with the key radio pulse generator inside the key fob. Here are a few points you need to know about Audi Advanced Key.
1. Proximity Detection
An Audi with proximity detection enables you to start and enter your car without having to take the key from your purse or pocket. This feature 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 proximity sensor that is based on sound also referred to a capacitive sensor, uses acoustic waves to detect the presence of nearby objects. The sensors make use of an oscillator to generate an electrical signal, which is transmitted through the air and picked up by the microphone, which then converts it into an audio file. The audio files are then compared to determine their proximity and similarity. If they are similar enough that the system sends a wake-up signal to key and send an ID signal that is in line with the vehicle.
Proximity detection is the beginning of a more comfortable driving experience. The Audi advanced key also comes with remote start, which allows you to start the engine of your car beyond the range of your key's FOB. This can be helpful when you are taking groceries out of the trunk, placing children in their seats, or packing for a family trip.
Audi pre sense basic, for instance, is a safety feature that can help you avoid accidents by taking preventive action before collisions occur. It blends the data of several other systems, including the front camera and radar sensors from Audi side assist, to calculate the likelihood of a collision and warn drivers. It also triggers the automatic braking system at speeds of up to 250 km/h (155,3) and notify the driver via the head-up or virtual cockpit display.
To make the most of your new Audi, you'll want to know what features are included in your specific model.

2. Authentication
The Audi advanced key system communicates directly with the car sensors when you hit the lock button on your key fob. The system sends a confirmation code to the computer of the car, which confirms that it is a valid key fob. This safeguards against any unauthorized access to the vehicle without the correct key fob.
The key fob can be used to also start the vehicle from a pocket or purse. The Audi advanced key system makes use of proximity sensors in the doors and the lid of the trunk together with the radio pulse generator on the key fob. If the key fob is within five feet of the vehicle, the sensors detect your presence and allow you to unlock the doors. Then, when you pull the door handle or open the trunk the vehicle will recognize your key and kicks off the engine.
You can also utilize the key fob in order to trigger the push-button feature of your vehicle. You can start the engine by pressing the Start/Stop buttons integrated into the center console, if the key fob is in your pocket or purse. The car's sensors will verify the key fob is authentic and begin the engine when they've verified it.
The Audi advanced key system also includes a keyless entry feature that allows you to open the doors of your vehicle with a touch of the handle on the exterior of the door. It's a great feature when you have hands full or are wearing gloves. For instance, if you're carrying groceries or kids in the car. The system also includes an option to release the trunk, which allows you to open the trunk with a kick gesture, another useful feature when you have a lot of things on your hands.

3. Keyless Entry
A keyless entry system can be a great option when you're carrying groceries, children or gear. You can open your vehicle by touching a button or sensor placed on the door's handle (some models also have this technology in the lock). The key fob can also activate the sensors inside the vehicle if you're carrying it. This lets it know that you are nearby and that your finger is at the touch of a button. This will prevent any unauthorized use of the vehicle, by making sure only you are able to open its doors.
Keyless entry systems often include the ability to remotely start your car without a physical key. Sensors that are mounted in the tailgate or trunk and, sometimes, within the doors of the vehicle, are employed to accomplish this. These sensors will activate the engine of the vehicle and here then unlock the doors when the fob is within a certain distance of the vehicle - typically, around 5 feet. Then, you can press a button to begin your car. This is a great technique to warm your car before you leave in the morning to go to work or when it's cold outside.
Some of the most sophisticated versions of keyless entry do not require the use of a key fob. These cars can be started and unlocked with a smartphone application. This is an excellent option for business owners or families who want to provide their employees with an easy way to use company vehicles. Certain keyless entry systems even remember the driver's preferred seating position and temperature in the cabin. This could be a major time saver while you're pulling up to the parking area.
One of the most advanced keyless entry systems comes with a rear hatch feature that can be activated by a simple foot wave. The hatch will then close and secure the cargo area in a matter of seconds. This feature is available in a wide range of Audi models and can be an option in the standard model, or as an upgrade depending on the model. These systems aren't secure, and could be bypassed by thieves with some technical expertise.
4. Push-Button Start
Audi unlike other brands of vehicles that offer remote starting at the factory, doesn't offer it. Audi offers an alternative with the same features as remote start, which is called the Audi Advanced Key.
While it's not a complete remote start system, this feature is a great option for drivers who need an easy way to get their car going without the need for key insertion. With this feature, you are able to unlock the doors of your Audi A4 or start the engine by pressing the button. The button is located exactly the same spot as the ignition button on the standard car.
To activate this feature, you will be required to have your key fob in your pocket, and close enough to your car. Sensors in the door handles and trunk will activate once you and your key fob are within five feet of the vehicle. Once you have an unambiguous signal and the correct code, the vehicle will then allow you to lock the doors and start the engine.
You can begin driving your Audi A4 with the touch of a button and not have to search through your purse and pockets to find your keys. This feature is ideal for people who spend long hours in a parking lot and is beneficial if you need to quickly warm up your car to commute or run errands.
Once you're inside your vehicle it will continue to communicate with your key fob. This is done by using encrypted signals to protect against the hacker from gaining access to your key fob. It also offers you an Keyless Go card as a backup. It is credit card sized and can be used to unlock the vehicle if your key fob gets lost or is malfunctioning.
If you have an Audi Advanced Key installed and you are experiencing difficulty starting your vehicle, it could be an issue with the key. The local Audi dealer can assist with this. The user manual contains an instruction that can be used to fix your keys and your vehicle.
