What is the Audi Advanced Key?

Audi prioritizes comfort and convenience. That's why all new models in our showroom include keyless entry and starting. This allows you to enter your vehicle and start driving, while keeping your key fob in pocket or in your purse.

1. Proximity Detection

Audi proximity detection enables you to open and get into your car without having to take the key out of your purse or pocket.

A sound-based sensor is also referred to as a capacitive sensor, detects the presence of objects around using acoustic wave. The sensors employ an oscillator to create a signal that is then transmitted through the air and picked up by an audio microphone, which transforms it into an audio file. Then, the audio files are examined 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 an alert message to the key. It will also send an ID signal that matches the vehicle.

The first step to a more convenient driving environment is proximity detection. The Audi advanced key features remote start functionality that gives you the ability to start your car from outside the range of your key's FOB.
