What is the Audi Advanced Key?

Audi prioritizes comfort and convenience. That's why all new models in our showroom come with keyless entry and start. This allows you to enter your vehicle and start driving, while keeping your key fob inside your pocket or purse.

This system is controlled by proximity sensors in the trunks, doors and key fobs. Here are a few points you need to know concerning Audi Advanced Key.

1. Proximity Detection

An Audi with proximity detection enables you to start and enter your car without ever having to take the key out of your pocket or purse. This system allows you to unlock the doors of your car and trunk, as well as the engine, with just a touch of the sensor button on the key.

A sensor based on sound is also known as capacitive sensors, detects the presence of objects in the vicinity using acoustic wave. The sensors employ an oscillator that generates an electrical signal, which is transmitted through the air and received by the microphone, which then converts it into an audio file. Then, the audio files are compared to determine the degree of similarity and how close they are. If they are similar enough the system will send a wake-up signal to the key and transmit an ID signal that matches with the vehicle.

Proximity detection is the beginning of an easier and more enjoyable driving experience. The Audi advanced key features remote start functionality that gives you the ability to start your car outside the range of your key's FOB. This is helpful when you are loading groceries in the boot, or securing your children in their seats, or packing for an excursion with your family.
