What is the Audi Advanced Key?

Audi vehicles prioritize comfort and convenience, which is why the latest models in our showroom feature keyless entry and start. This technology lets you get into your car and start driving while keeping your key fob in pocket or your purse.

The system works by using proximity sensors located in the doors and trunks, paired with the key radio pulse generator in the key fob. Here are some things you need to be aware of Audi Advanced Key:

1. Proximity Detection

Audi proximity detection lets you to begin and enter your car without having to remove the key from your purse or pocket. This access and authorization system works through automatic data exchange between your convenience key and the vehicle which allows you to open the trunk and doors and even activate the engine with just a click on your key.

A sensor based on sound is also referred to as a capacitive sensor, is able to detect the presence of objects around by using an acoustic signal. The sensors use an oscillator that generates the signal, which is transmitted through the air and picked up by the microphone, which then converts it into an audio file. The audio files are evaluated to determine their similarity and proximity. When they are within a certain distance and the system sends a wake-up message to the key. It will also send an ID signal matching the vehicle.

The first step toward an easier and more comfortable driving experience is proximity detection. The Audi advanced key also has remote start which lets you initiate your vehicle's engine without leaving the range of your key's FOB. This is useful for loading groceries into the boot, locking your children in their seats, or packing for an excursion with your family.

2. Authentication

The Audi advanced key system communicates directly with the car's sensors whenever 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 key fob. This safeguards against 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 makes use of proximity sensors in the trunk lid, doors and key fob. The sensors open the doors when the key fob is close proximity to the vehicle (about five feet). Then, when you use the door handle or open the trunk the vehicle detects your key and begins the engine.

You can also use the key fob to activate the push-button feature of your vehicle. When the key fob is in of your purse or pocket, you can simply press the Start/Stop button in the center console to engage the engine. The car's sensors will confirm the authenticity of the key fob and then start the engine after they have confirmed it.

The Audi advanced key system also has a keyless entry feature that allows you to open the doors of your vehicle by pressing the handle on the outside of the door. This is extremely useful when your hands are full or you're wearing gloves, like when you're carrying groceries or children in the car. The system also includes the trunk release button that lets you open the trunk with the kick gesture, a useful feature if you have a lot of things on your hands.

3. Keyless Entry

Keyless entry is an excellent convenience, particularly when you're carrying your kids, groceries or other equipment. You can unlock your car by pressing a button or sensor that is mounted on the door handle (some models have this technology built into the lock). If you're carrying a key fob, it will send a signal to activate the car's sensors so that it knows you're in the vicinity and that your finger is firmly on the button. This will stop unauthorized access to the vehicle by making sure that only you have access to the doors.

Keyless entry systems often allow you to remotely start your car without a physical key. Sensors mounted in the tailgate or trunk and, sometimes, in the doors of the vehicle are employed to achieve this. These sensors will activate the engine of the vehicle and open the doors when the fob is within a certain distance of the vehicle - typically around 5 feet. You can then push a button to begin your car. This is a great technique to warm your car before you leave in the morning to go to work or when it is cold outside.

Some of the more sophisticated versions of keyless entry don't need any key fobs at all. These vehicles can be opened and unlocked using an app on your smartphone. This is a great solution for families or business owners who wish to provide their employees with an easy method of using company vehicles. Certain keyless entry systems can even remember the driver's preferred seat position and cabin temperature. This can help you save time when you go to a parking lot.

Some of the most advanced versions of keyless entry systems have the ability to activate the rear hatch with a touch that will automatically close and secure your cargo space by simply tapping your foot. You can find this feature in many Audi automobiles and, depending on the model, it may be an option that is standard or a paid upgrade. Be aware that these systems are not impervious to attack and can be manipulated by thieves who have skills or knowledge.

4. Push-Button Start

Contrary to other brands, Audi does not offer remote start on its vehicles in a factory capacity. Audi offers a second 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 option is a great alternative for those who require an easy way 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. The button is located where you usually find the ignition in a standard vehicle.

You'll require your key fob as well as to be within 5 feet of the vehicle in order to activate this feature. Sensors in the door handles and trunk will begin to activate when you and your key fob are within five feet of the vehicle. Once you have an equivocal signal and correct code, the vehicle will then allow you to lock the doors or start the engine.

With the press of the button, you can quickly access your Audi A4 and begin driving without having to search through your purse or pockets for keys. This feature is ideal for those who spend a lot of time in parking lots, and it can be beneficial if you need to quickly warm up your car for a commute or to run for errands.

When you're in your car, the system will continue to communicate with the keyfob. This is done using encrypted signals, which helps to ensure that the system will not be hacked. It is also possible to use the Keyless Go Card here as a backup. It is a credit card sized card that can be used to open your vehicle in case your key fob is damaged or lost.
