What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi is a firm believer in comfort and convenience. That's why all new models we display come with keyless entry and start. This allows you to access to your car and begin driving while keeping your key fob in pocket or purse.
The system is controlled by proximity sensors that are located in the trunks, doors and key fobs. Here are a few things you should be aware of Audi Advanced Key:
1. Proximity Detection
An Audi equipped with proximity detection enables you to start and enter your car without having to pull the key out of your pocket or purse. This authorization and access system works through automatic data exchange between your convenience key and your vehicle, allowing you to unlock the trunk and doors, and even activate the engine with just one touch of a sensor button on your key.
A sensor based on sound, also called capacitive sensors, detects the presence of objects nearby by using an acoustic signal. The sensors produce an electrical signal by using an oscillator. The signal is released into the air via the microphone that converts it to an audio file. The audio files are then compared to determine their similarity and proximity. When they are close, the system will send a wake-up message to the key. It will also send an ID signal that matches the vehicle.
The first step to a more convenient driving environment is proximity detection. The Audi advanced key comes with remote start capabilities, which allows you to start your car from outside the range of your key's FOB. This is useful when you are carrying groceries into the trunk, or securing children in their seats, or packing for an family trip.
Audi pre sense basic is a security feature that allows you to avoid accidents by taking action prior to a collision occurs. It uses data from several other systems including the front camera, radar sensors and Audi side assist to determine 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 alert the driver via the head-up or virtual cockpit display.

2. Authentication
The Audi advanced key system is directly connected to the car's sensors whenever you press the lock button on your key fob. This sends a code to the car's system that confirms that the key fob is a valid key fob. This safeguards against unauthorized access to the vehicle without the proper key fob.
The key fob can be used to start the vehicle from inside a pocket or purse. Audi's advanced key system makes use of proximity sensors inside the trunk lid and doors, as well as the key fob. If the key fob is within five feet of the vehicle, the sensors will detect your presence and unlock the doors. Then, when you pull the door handle or open the trunk, the vehicle recognizes your key and kicks off the engine.
You can also utilize your key fob to activate the start-up feature of your vehicle's push button. If the key fob is in of your pocket or purse, you can simply press the Start/Stop button integrated in the center console to start the engine. The car's sensors check the key fob's authenticity, and once it's confirmed, the engine will start.
The Audi advanced key system also includes a keyless entry feature that allows you to open the doors of your vehicle by pressing the handle on the outside of the door. It's a great feature when you have hands full or wearing gloves. For instance, if you're carrying groceries or kids in the car. The system has a trunk release button that lets you open the trunk with the kick motion. This is a great feature for when you're carrying a lot of groceries or children into the vehicle.

3. Keyless Entry
Keyless entry systems are an amazing convenience, especially when you're carrying your kids, groceries or other gear. You can unlock your vehicle by pressing a button or sensor mounted on the door's handle (some models also have this technology in the lock). The key fob will activate the sensors in the vehicle if you're carrying it. This informs the vehicle that you are in the vicinity and that your finger is at the touch of the button. This prevents the use of your vehicle by anyone else by making sure that only you are able to unlock the doors.
Keyless entry systems often include the ability to remotely start your vehicle without the use of a physical key. This is achieved by using sensors mounted in the trunk, the tailgate, and sometimes even inside the doors of the vehicle. These sensors will turn on the vehicle's engine and unlock the doors when the fob is within the distance of the vehicle - usually around 5 feet. Then, you press an appropriate button to start your vehicle. This is a great way to get your car warm and cozy before you head off to work in the morning or when it's cold outside.
Some of the most advanced keyless entry systems don't even require a fob. The cars can be unlocked and then started by using a smartphone application. This is an excellent option for families or business owners who wish to give their employees access to their company cars. Certain keyless entry systems even remember the driver's preferred seating position as well as the temperature of the cabin. This could save you a lot of time when you pull up to a parking lot.
One of the more sophisticated keyless entry systems has a rear hatch feature that can be activated by just a simple touch of your foot. This will close and secure the cargo area automatically. This technology is offered in many Audi models and may be an option in the standard model, or as an upgrade depending on the model. These systems aren't 100% secure, and they can be bypassed by thieves with some technical expertise.
4. Push-Button Start
In contrast to many other vehicle brands, Audi does not offer remote start on its vehicles that are manufactured in factory capacity. Audi offers a different option with the same features as remote start, which is called the Audi Advanced Key.
While it's not a complete remote start system, this is a great option for drivers here who need an easy way to get their car going without the need to insert keys. With this feature, you are able to unlock the doors of your Audi A4 or start the engine by pressing a button. This button is exactly the same spot as the ignition button on the standard car.
To activate this feature, you require a key fob in your pocket and close enough to the vehicle. Sensors in the door handles and trunk will activate once you and your key fob are within five feet of the vehicle. If you have the right code and a clear signal the car will be able to lock or start the vehicle.
With the push of a button, you can easily connect your Audi A4 and begin driving without the need to fumble through your pockets or purse for keys. This feature is ideal for those who spend a lot of time in parking lots and is beneficial if you need to quickly warm up your vehicle to commute or run errands.
Once you're inside your car the system will continue to communicate with your key fob. This is done by using encrypted signals to prevent the hacker from gaining access to your key fob. It also offers you an Keyless Go card as a backup. It's credit card size and can be used to unlock your vehicle in case the key fob is lost or malfunctioning.
If your vehicle is fitted with the Audi Advanced Key and you have trouble getting it to start, there may be a problem with the key or the vehicle. This is something your local Audi dealer can help with. They can carry out a procedure in the user's manual that will repair the keys and the vehicle.
