What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi cars are renowned for their comfort and convenience, which is the reason the new models in our showroom feature keyless entry and start. This technology lets you access to your car and begin driving, while keeping your key fob in your pocket or your purse.
This system is controlled by proximity sensors in the trunks, doors and key fobs. Here are a few things you need to know regarding Audi Advanced Key.
1. Proximity Detection
An Audi with proximity detection enables you to enter and start your car without having to take the key from your pocket or purse. This system allows you to unlock your car's doors, trunk and engine with a single touch of the sensor button on the key.
A sensor based on sound is also referred to as capacitive sensors, detects the presence of objects in the vicinity by using an acoustic signal. The sensors produce an oscillator-generated signal. The signal is released into the air via an audio microphone, which converts it into an audio file. The audio files are then compared to determine their proximity and similarity. If they are similar enough, the system will transmit a wake-up signal to the key and transmit an ID signal that matches with the vehicle.
Proximity detection is just the first step towards a more convenient driving experience. The Audi advanced key comes with remote start capabilities, which allows you the ability to start your car outside the range of your key FOB. This is useful when loading groceries in the boot, or securing your children in their seats, or packing for a trip with the family.

2. Authentication
When you press the key fob's lock button the Audi advanced key system communicates with the car's sensors. The system sends a code to the car's computer that confirms that it is an authorized key fob. This safeguards against any unauthorized access to the vehicle without a valid key fob.
It also lets drivers start their vehicles using the key fob inside their pocket or purse. Audi's innovative key system utilizes proximity sensors in the trunk lid as well as the 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 pull the door handle or open the trunk the vehicle will recognize your key and begins the engine.
You can also use the key fob to activate the push-button function of your vehicle. You can start the engine by pressing the Start/Stop buttons that are integrated into the center console, if the key fob is in your pocket or purse. The car's sensors will check that the key fob is genuine and begin the engine when they've confirmed it.
The Audi advanced key system has a keyless entry feature that allows you to open your vehicle doors by simply pressing the exterior door handle. It's a wonderful feature when you have hands full or wearing gloves. For instance, when you're carrying groceries or kids in the car.

3. Keyless Entry
Keyless entry is a great convenience, especially when you're carrying groceries, kids or other equipment. You can open your vehicle by simply pressing a button or sensor mounted on the handle of the door (some models have the technology inside the lock). The key fob will also activate the sensors in the vehicle when you are carrying it. This signals that you're in the vicinity and that your finger is pressing a button. This helps discourage the use of your vehicle by anyone else by making sure that only you have the right to unlock the doors.
Keyless entry systems often include the ability to remotely start your vehicle without a physical key. This is done by with sensors that are mounted in the trunk, tailgate and sometimes even inside the doors of the vehicle. These sensors will unlock the doors and turn on the engine of the vehicle if the fob is within 5 feet. Then, you can press a button to start your car. This is a great technique to warm up your car before you leave for work or when it is cold outside.
Some of the most advanced keyless entry systems don't even require fobs. They can be locked and reopened by using a smartphone application. This is a great option for business owners or families who wish to give their employees easy access to company vehicles. Some keyless entry systems can even remember the driver's preferred seating position as well as the temperature of the cabin. This can save you a lot of time when you get to a parking area.
One of the more sophisticated keyless entry systems has a rear hatch feature that can be activated by a simple foot wave. This will close and secure the cargo area automatically. This technology is available in many Audi vehicles and, depending on the model, it could be a standard feature or an upgrade that costs money. These systems aren't 100% secure, and they can be tampered with by thieves with a little technical expertise.
4. Push-Button Start
Audi unlike other vehicle brands that offer remote starting in the factory, doesn't do so. However, the company does provide a different alternative that comes with the same features as remote start. It's called the Audi Advanced Key.
While not a full remote start system, this option is a great alternative for those who require an easy method to start their car without the need to insert keys. With this feature, you can open your Audi A4's doors or start the engine by pressing the button. This button is located where you usually will find the ignition on a conventional vehicle.
To activate this feature, you require a key fob in your pocket and be close enough to your car. Sensors in the door handles and trunk will activate once you and your key fob are within approximately five feet of the vehicle. Once you have the correct code and a clear signal the car will be able to lock or start the car.
With the push of the button, you can easily enter your Audi A4 and begin driving without having to search around in your pockets or purse for the keys. This feature is perfect for those who spend long hours in parking lots and can be useful if you want to quickly warm up your vehicle for a commute or to website run for errands.
Once you are in your car the system continues to communicate with your key fob. This is accomplished through encrypted signals, which helps to ensure that the system cannot be compromised. You can also use a Keyless Go Card as a backup. It is a credit card-sized card that can be used to open your vehicle in the event that the key fob malfunctions or is lost.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Audi Advanced Key and you have trouble getting it to start, it might be a problem with the key or vehicle. The local Audi dealer can assist you with this. They can perform a routine in the user manual that will repair the keys and the vehicle.
