What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi puts a premium on comfort and ease of use. This is why all new models in our showroom have keyless entry and starting. This allows you to enter your vehicle and start driving while keeping your key fob inside your pocket or purse.

1. Proximity Detection
An Audi equipped with proximity detection enables you to open and start your vehicle without needing to take the key out of your pocket or purse. This system lets you unlock your car's doors and trunk as well as the engine with a single touch of the sensor button on the key.
A proximity sensor based on sound is also known as a capacitive sensor, employs acoustic waves in order to detect the presence of objects near. The sensors use an oscillator to generate the signal, which is transmitted through the air and received by an audio microphone, which transforms it into an audio file. Then, the audio files are compared to determine how similar they are and how close they are. If they are close enough, the system will transmit a wake-up 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 also comes with a remote start capability, which allows you to start the engine of your car from outside of the range of your key FOB. This is useful when you are loading groceries into the boot, locking your children in their seats or packing for an excursion with your family.
