What is the Audi Advanced Key?

Audi prioritizes comfort and convenience. This is why all the new models we display include keyless entry and starting. This technology allows you to enter your car and begin driving, all while keeping your key fob in your pocket or purse.

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

An Audi with proximity detection enables you to enter and start your car without ever having to pull the key from your pocket or purse. This feature lets you 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 proximity sensor based on sound, also known as a capacitive proximity sensor uses acoustic waves to detect the presence of nearby objects. The sensors make use of an oscillator to generate an electrical signal, which is transmitted through the air and received by an audio microphone, which transforms it into an audio file. The audio files are compared to determine how similar they are and how close they are. When they are within a certain distance to each other, the system will send a wake-up signal to the key. It will also send an ID signal that matches the vehicle.

Proximity detection is only the first step towards a more convenient driving experience. The Audi advanced key also comes with remote start which lets you start the engine of your car without leaving the range of your key FOB. This is helpful when you are loading groceries into the boot, securing your children in their seats or packing for an outing with the family.
