What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi vehicles prioritize comfort and convenience, which is the reason the new models in our showroom feature keyless entry and start. This technology lets you enter your vehicle and start driving while keeping your key fob inside your pocket or your purse.
This system works through proximity sensors in the trunks and doors, coupled with the key radio pulse generator inside the key fob. Here are some things you need to know about Audi Advanced Key:
1. Proximity Detection
An Audi with proximity detection enables you to enter and start your car without having to pull the key out of your purse or pocket. The access and authorization system works through automatic data exchange between your convenience key and the vehicle, allowing you to unlock the trunk and doors, and even start the engine with a single touch of a sensor button on your key.
A sound-based sensor is also known as a capacitive sensor, is able to detect the presence of objects in the vicinity by utilizing an acoustic wave. The sensors generate an oscillator-generated signal. The signal is sent into the air by a microphone which converts it into an audio file. The audio files are compared to determine the degree of similarity and how close they are. When they are close enough the system will send an alert signal to the key and transmit an ID signal that matches with the vehicle.
Proximity detection is the first step towards a more comfortable driving experience. The Audi advanced key has remote start capabilities that gives you the ability to start your car outside the range of your key FOB. This is useful when loading groceries into the boot, locking your children in their seats, or packing for an excursion with your family.
Audi pre sense basic is a safety feature that allows you to avoid accidents by taking action before a collision occurs. It utilizes data from a variety of other systems including the front camera radar sensors, the front camera and Audi side assist to determine the likelihood and warn drivers. It also triggers the automatic brake system at speeds of up to 250 km/h (155,3) and alert the driver via the virtual cockpit or head-up display.

2. Authentication
The Audi advanced key system connects directly to the car sensors when you press the lock button on your key fob. It sends a confirmation number to the computer of the car, which confirms that it's a valid fob. This prevents any entry into the vehicle without the proper key fob.
It also allows drivers to start their vehicles with the key fob that is in the pocket or purse. The Audi advanced key system utilizes proximity sensors inside the trunk lid and doors, paired with an electronic radio-frequency generator inside the key fob. When the key fob is within roughly five feet of the vehicle, the sensors detect your presence and unlock the doors. When you open the trunk or pull the door handle the car recognizes the key and starts the motor.
You can also utilize your key fob to activate the push-button start feature in your vehicle. When the key fob is inside of your purse or pocket, you can simply press the Start/Stop button integrated in the center console to start the engine. The car's sensors verify the authenticity of the key fob, and when it's confirmed the engine will begin.
The Audi advanced key system also features a keyless entry function that lets you open the doors of your vehicle by simply pressing the handle on the exterior of the door. This is extremely practical when your hands are full or wearing gloves, such as when you're carrying groceries or kids into the vehicle. The system also has an option to release the trunk, so you can open the trunk using a kick gesture, another useful feature when you have a lot on your hands.

3. Keyless Entry
Keyless entry systems can be a great convenience when you're carrying groceries, children or other equipment. You can open your car by pressing a button or sensor on the door handle (some models have this technology built right into 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 in the vicinity and your hand is at the touch of a button. This will help prevent unauthorised use of the vehicle, by making sure only you are able to open its doors.
Another feature that is often offered by keyless entry systems is the capability to remote start your car without a key. Sensors that are mounted in the tailgate or trunk, and sometimes inside the doors of the vehicle are employed to achieve this. These sensors will turn on the engine of the vehicle and open the doors when the fob is within the range of the car - typically, around 5 feet. You can then press a button to begin your car. This is a great way to keep your car warm and cozy before you head off to work in the morning, or when it's cold outside.
Some of the more advanced variations of keyless entry don't require a key fob at all. These vehicles can be opened and unlocked using an app on your smartphone. This is an excellent option for business owners or families who wish to provide their employees with an easy method of using company vehicles. Certain keyless entry systems can even remember the driver’s preferred seat position and cabin temperature. This can help you save time when you get to a parking lot.
Some of the most advanced variations of keyless entries systems have an activated rear hatch that will automatically close and secure your cargo space by a simple tap of your foot. This feature is available in many Audi models and could be offered as a standard feature, or an upgrade depending on the model. These systems aren't foolproof, and can be tampered with by thieves with a little technical expertise.
4. Push-Button Start
Unlike many competing vehicle brands, Audi does not offer remote start on its vehicles in its factory capacity. However, the company offers a different option that has similar features as remote start. It's called the Audi Advanced Key.
This feature is not an automatic remote start system, but it's an excellent option for drivers who want to start their vehicle without having insert a key. With this feature, you are able to unlock the doors of your Audi A4 or start the engine by pressing a button. The button is located where you normally find the ignition in the normal vehicle.
You'll require your key fob and to be within 5 feet of the vehicle in order to activate this feature. Sensors in the trunk and door handles will begin to activate when you and your key fob are within approximately five feet of the vehicle. If you receive a clear signal and the correct code the vehicle will allow you to lock the doors and start the engine.
You can begin driving your Audi A4 with the touch of a button, without having to search through your purse or pockets for your keys. This feature is perfect for people who spend long hours in a parking lot and is beneficial if you need to quickly warm up your vehicle for a commute or run for errands.
When you get inside your vehicle the system continues to communicate lost audi keys with your key fob. This is done using encrypted signals to protect against hacking. It is also possible to use the Keyless Go Card as a backup. It's a credit card-sized card that could be used to open your vehicle in case your key fob fails or gets lost.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Audi Advanced Key and you are having difficulty getting it to start, it might be a problem with the key or vehicle. This is something your local Audi dealer can assist with. They can run a routine in the user manual that will re-pair keys and the car.
