What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi is a firm believer in comfort and convenience. This is why all the new models in our showroom have keyless entry and starting. This technology lets you enter your car and begin driving, while keeping the key fob in your purse or pocket.
This system operates through proximity sensors in the doors and trunks, coupled with an electronic key radio inside the key fob. Here are some of the things you should know about Audi Advanced Key:
1. Proximity Detection
Audi proximity detection lets you to begin and enter your car without having to take the key out of your pocket or purse. The access and authorization system works by enabling a data exchange between your convenience key and your car that allows you to unlock the trunk and doors, and even start the engine with just one press on your key.
A sound-based proximity sensor, also known as a capacitive proximity sensor, uses acoustic waves to detect the presence of objects near. The sensors use an oscillator to create the signal, which is transmitted through the air and received by a microphone, which converts it into an audio file. The audio files are then examined to determine their similarity and proximity. When they are close to each other, the system will send an alert message to the key. It will also send an ID signal matching the vehicle.
The first step to a more pleasant driving experience is proximity detection. The Audi advanced key features remote start that gives you the ability to start your car outside the range of your key FOB. This can be useful when you are carrying groceries into the trunk, securing children in their seats or packing for a family adventure.
Audi pre sense basic is a safety feature which helps you to avoid accidents by taking action prior to the collision happens. It uses data from several other systems including the front camera as well as radar sensors and Audi side assist to calculate the probability of a collision and alert drivers. It also triggers the automatic brake system at speeds up to 250 km/h (155,3) and notify 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 hit the lock button on your key fob. The system sends a confirmation code to the computer of the car that confirms it's a valid fob. This prevents unauthorized entry to the vehicle without the authentic key fob.
The key fob can be used to also start the car from the pocket or purse. Audi's advanced key system uses proximity sensors in the trunk lid, doors and key fob. The sensors unlock the doors when the key fob is close proximity to the vehicle (about five feet). Then, when you pull the door handle or open the trunk the vehicle detects your key and kicks off the engine.
You can also make use of your key fob in order to activate the start-up feature of your vehicle's push button. You can start the engine by pressing the Start/Stop buttons integrated into the center console when the key fob is in your purse or pocket. The car's sensors verify the key fob's authenticity, and once it is confirmed the engine will begin.
The Audi advanced key system includes a keyless entry feature that allows you to unlock your car's doors by pressing the handle on the outside of the door. This makes it incredibly convenient when your hands are full or you're wearing gloves, for instance when you're bringing groceries or kids into the vehicle. The system also has an option to release the trunk, which allows you to open the trunk with an aplomb, which is a useful feature if you have a lot on your hands.

3. Keyless Entry
Keyless entry systems can be a huge option when you're carrying groceries, children or other gear. You can unlock your car simply by touching a button or sensor mounted on the door handle (some models have the technology built right into the lock). The key fob will also activate the sensors in the vehicle if you're carrying it. This lets it know that you are in the vicinity and that your hand is pressed on a button. This will prevent unauthorised access to the vehicle by ensuring only you can unlock the doors.
An other feature commonly included with keyless entry systems is the capability to remotely start your car without a key. This is accomplished with sensors that are mounted in the trunk, tailgate or even in the doors of the vehicle. These sensors will unlock the doors and turn on the engine of the vehicle when the fob is within 5 feet. Then, you can press a button to start your vehicle. This is a great method to get your car warm and toasty before you leave for work in the morning or when it's cold outside.
Some of the most advanced variations of keyless entry don't need the use of a key fob. These cars can be unlocked and reopened with a smartphone app. This is a great option for business owners or families who wish to give their employees access to their company cars. Some keyless entry systems can even remember the driver's preferred seating position and temperature in the cabin. This could help you save time when you go to a parking lot.
Some of the more sophisticated versions of keyless entry systems include a touch-activated rear hatch function that automatically closes and secure your cargo area by a simple tap of your foot. You can find this feature in many Audi vehicles and, depending on the model, it could be an option that is standard or an upgrade for a fee. Be aware that these systems are not impervious to attack and can be manipulated by savvy thieves with some technical knowledge or tools.
4. Push-Button Start
Contrary to other brands, Audi does not offer remote start on its vehicles in a factory capacity. Audi offers an alternative with similar features to remote start, called the Audi Advanced Key.
Although it isn't a complete remote start system, this is a great alternative for those who require an easy way to start their car without the need for key insertion. With this feature, you can unlock your Audi A4's doors or start the engine by pressing a button. The button is located where you usually locate the ignition in a conventional vehicle.
To activate this feature, you will require a key fob in your pocket and be close enough to your car. Sensors in the trunk and door handles will activate once you and your key fob are within approximately five feet of the vehicle. Once you have a clear signal and the correct code, the vehicle will then allow you to lock the doors or start the engine.
By pressing an button, you are able to quickly access your Audi A4 and begin driving without the need to look around in your pockets or purse for keys. This feature is ideal for those who park their vehicles often. It can also be a great asset for those who need to warm up their car quickly to get on the road.
When you get in your car, the system continues to communicate with your key fob. This is done with encrypted signals to protect against the hacker from gaining access to your key fob. It is also possible to use a Keyless Go Card as a backup. It is a credit card-sized card that could be used to open the vehicle in case your key fob fails or gets lost.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Audi Advanced Key and you are having trouble getting it to start, there could be an issue with the key or the vehicle. The local Audi dealer can assist you with this. The user's manual provides a procedure that can be used to repair your keys and vehicle.
