What is the Audi Advanced Key?

Audi cars are renowned for their comfort and convenience, which is the reason the latest models we display in our showroom have keyless entry and start. This technology allows you access to your car and begin driving, while keeping your key fob in pocket or your purse.


This system is controlled by proximity sensors in the trunks, doors and key fobs. Here are a few points you should be aware of regarding Audi Advanced Key.

1. Proximity Detection

An Audi equipped with proximity detection enables you to enter and start your car without having to take the key out of your pocket or purse. The access and authorization system works by enabling a data exchange between your convenience key and your vehicle, allowing you to unlock the trunk and doors, and even start the engine with just one touch of a sensor button on your key.

A sound-based proximity sensor also referred to a capacitive sensor, employs acoustic waves in order to detect the presence of objects in close proximity. The sensors generate a signal using an oscillator. This signal is then transmitted into the air by an audio microphone, which transforms it into an audio file. Then, the audio files are compared to determine how similar they are and how close they are. When they are close, the system will send a wake-up signal to the key. It will also send an ID signal to the vehicle.

Proximity detection is the beginning of a more convenient driving experience. The Audi advanced key also comes with remote start, which allows you to start your car's engine beyond the range of your key FOB. This is helpful when you are loading groceries into the boot, locking your children in their seats or packing for an outing with the family.

Audi pre sense basic is a safety feature that allows you to avoid accidents by taking action before the collision happens. It uses data from several other systems including the front camera radar sensors, the front camera and Audi side assist to calculate the probability of a collision and alert drivers. It also triggers automatic braking up to 250 km/h (155.3) and alert the driver by displaying messages in the virtual cockpit and head-up display.

2. Authentication

The Audi advanced key system communicates directly with the car's sensors whenever you press the lock button on your key fob. It sends a confirmation number to the computer in the car to confirm that it's a valid key fob. This security measure prevents unauthorized access to the vehicle without the correct key fob.

It also allows drivers to start their vehicles with the key fob that is in their purse or pocket. Audi's innovative key system utilizes proximity sensor in the trunk lid as well as the doors and key fob. If the key fob is within roughly five feet of the vehicle, the sensors detect your presence and open the doors. When you open the trunk, or use the door handle the vehicle detects the key and begins the motor.

You can also utilize your key fob to activate the push-button start feature in your vehicle. If the key fob is inside of your pocket or purse you can press the Start/Stop button in the center console to engage the engine. The car's sensors check the authenticity of the key fob, and once it is confirmed the engine will begin.

The Audi advanced key system features a keyless entry feature that allows you to open the doors of your vehicle by just touching the handle of the exterior door. It's a fantastic feature to use when you've got hands full or are wearing gloves. For example, when you're carrying groceries or children in the car. The system has a trunk release button that allows you to open the trunk with a kick motion. This is a fantastic option for those who have to carry a lot of groceries or children into the vehicle.

3. Keyless Entry

A keyless entry system can be a great option when you're carrying your kids, groceries or other equipment. You can open your car by touching a button or sensor on the door handle (some models come with the technology built right into the lock). If you're carrying a key fob, it will send an alarm to activate the sensors of the vehicle so that it knows you're nearby and your hand is at the button. This will help prevent any unauthorized access to the vehicle by making sure that only you have access to the doors.

Another feature that is typically included in keyless entry systems is the ability to start your car remotely without the use of a key. Sensors mounted in the tailgate or trunk, and sometimes in the doors of the vehicle are used to achieve this. These sensors will unlock the doors and start the engine of the vehicle if the fob is within 5 feet. Then, you can press a button to start your vehicle. This is a great way to warm your car prior to when you leave in the morning for work or when it is cold outside.

Some of the most advanced keyless entry systems don't require fobs. These vehicles can be opened and locked using a smartphone application. This is a great option for families or business owners who wish to give their employees an easy method of using company vehicles. Certain keyless entry systems even keep track of the driver's preferred seat position and cabin temperature. This could be a major time saver while you're pulling towards the parking area.

One of the more advanced keyless entry systems comes with a rear hatch function which is activated by just a simple touch of your foot. It will shut and secure the cargo area automatically. This technology is available in many Audi vehicles, and, based on the model, it may be an option that is standard or an upgrade for a fee. 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

Unlike many competing vehicle brands, Audi does not offer remote start on its vehicles in its factory capacity. Audi offers a second option that has similar features to remote start, which is called the Audi Advanced Key.

This isn't a remote start system but it's a great option for drivers who want to start their vehicle without having to insert keys. With this feature, you are able to unlock your Audi A4's doors or start the engine by pressing a button. This button is located where you typically locate the ignition in the normal vehicle.

You will require your key fob as well as to be within 5 feet of the vehicle to activate this feature. Sensors in the door handles or in the trunk will be activated once you and your keyfob are within five feet of the car. If you have the right code and a clear signal, the car will allow you to lock or start the car.

With the push of a button, you can effortlessly connect your Audi A4 and begin driving without the need to look around in your purse or pockets for the keys. This feature is perfect for those who spend a lot of time in parking lots and is beneficial if you need to quickly warm up your car for a commute or to run errands.

Once you're inside your vehicle, the system will continue to communicate with your key fob. This is done using encrypted signals, which helps to ensure that the system will not be hacked. It also offers you the Keyless Go card as a backup, which is credit-card size 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 getting your car started it could be due to an issue with the key. This is something that your local Audi dealer can help with. They can run a routine in the user's manual which will re-pair keys and the car.
