What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi puts a premium on comfort and ease of use. This is why all new models we display include keyless entry and starting. This technology lets you get into your car and start driving, all while keeping your key fob in your pocket or purse.
This system works through proximity sensors in the trunks and doors, coupled with the key radio pulse generator within the key fob. Here are some of the things you need to know about Audi Advanced Key:
1. Proximity Detection
An Audi with proximity detection allows you to start and enter your car without having to pull the key from your purse or pocket. The access and authorization system works through automatic data exchange between the convenience key and your car which allows you to open the trunk and doors and even activate the engine with a single click on your key.
A proximity sensor that is based on sound, also known as a capacitive proximity sensor, uses acoustic waves to detect the presence of objects near. The sensors use an oscillator that generates a signal that is then transmitted through the air and received by the microphone, which then converts it into an audio file. The audio files are then compared to determine their similarity and proximity. If they are close enough, the system will transmit a wake-up signal to key and send an ID signal that matches with the vehicle.
The first step towards an easier and more comfortable driving experience is proximity detection. The Audi advanced key also comes with remote start, which allows you to initiate your vehicle's engine beyond the range of your key FOB. This is useful for loading groceries into the boot, locking your children in their seats, or packing for a trip with the family.
Audi pre sense basic, for instance it is a safety function that assists you in avoiding accidents by taking preventive actions prior to collisions occurring. It integrates the data from various other systems, such as the front camera and radar sensors from Audi side assist, to determine the likelihood of a collision and alert drivers. It also triggers automatic braking up to 250 km/h (155.3) and notify the driver by displaying an alert message displayed in the head-up and virtual cockpit display.

2. Authentication
When you press your key fob's lock button, the Audi advanced key system communicates with the car's sensors. This sends a confirmation code to the computer in the car to confirm that it's a valid fob. This prevents unauthorized access to the vehicle without the correct key fob.
The key fob can be used to also start the vehicle from inside pockets or purses. The Audi advanced key system makes use of proximity sensors on the trunk lid and doors and the radio pulse generator on the 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 recognizes your key and kicks off the engine.
You can also use your key fob to activate your vehicle's push-button start feature. You can start the engine by pressing the Start/Stop buttons built into the center console when the key fob is in your purse or pocket. The car's sensors will verify the authenticity of the key fob and begin the engine when they've confirmed it.
The Audi advanced key system includes a keyless entry feature that lets you open the doors of your vehicle by pressing the handle on the exterior of the door. It's a great feature when you've got a full hand or are wearing gloves. For instance, if you're bringing groceries or children in the car. The system includes a trunk-release button that lets you open the trunk using an action. This is an excellent option for those who have to carry a lot of groceries or children into the vehicle.

3. Keyless Entry
Keyless entry systems are an excellent convenience, particularly when you're carrying kids, groceries or gear. You can unlock your car by pressing a button, or a sensor mounted on the door handle (some models come with the 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 nearby and that your hand is pressed pressing a button. This will prevent any unauthorized 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 possibility to start your car remotely without a key. This is accomplished through sensors in the trunk, the tailgate, and sometimes even inside 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 car. This is a great technique to warm your car before you leave for work or when it is cold outside.
Some of the most advanced variations of keyless entry don't require any key fobs at all. These cars can be started and locked using a smartphone application. This is an excellent option for business owners or families who wish to give their employees easy access to company vehicles. Certain keyless entry systems even remember the driver's preferred seating position or cabin temperature. This can be a huge time saver while you're pulling towards the parking lot.
One of the most sophisticated keyless entry systems has a rear hatch function which is activated by simply a simple gesture of the foot. The hatch will then close and secure the cargo area in a matter of seconds. This technology is offered in many Audi models and can be offered as a standard feature, or an upgrade, depending on the model. Be aware that these systems aren't foolproof and can be circumvented by skilled thieves with skills or knowledge.
4. Push-Button Start
Unlike many competing vehicle brands, Audi does not offer remote start on its vehicles in a factory capacity. Audi offers an alternative that has similar features to remote start, called the Audi Advanced Key.
Although it isn't a complete remote start system, this feature is a great option for drivers who need an easy method to start their car without the need for key insertion. This feature allows you to unlock the doors of your Audi A4 or start the car by pressing a single button. This button is located in the same place you normally will find the ignition on a conventional vehicle.
To activate this feature, you will be required to have your key fob in your pocket, and close enough to your car. Sensors in the door handles or trunk will be activated when you and your keyfob are within five feet of the vehicle. If you receive an unambiguous signal and the correct code, the vehicle will then allow you to lock the doors and start the engine.
With the push of the button, you can quickly access your Audi A4 and begin driving without the need to fumble around in your pockets or purse for keys. This feature is ideal for people who spend much time in parking lots, and it can be website beneficial if you need to quickly warm up your vehicle for a commute or run some errands.
Once you're inside your car, the system will continue to communicate with your key fob. This is accomplished through encrypted signals, which help to ensure that the system will not be hacked. It also comes with the Keyless Go card as a backup. It's credit card sized and can be used to unlock your vehicle if your key fob gets lost or is malfunctioning.
If you have an Audi Advanced Key installed and are having problems starting your vehicle it could be due to an issue with the key. The local Audi dealer can assist with this. The user's manual provides an instruction that can be used to re-pair your keys and your vehicle.
