What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi vehicles are designed to provide comfort and convenience, which is the reason the latest models we have in our showroom offer keyless entry and start. This allows you to get into your car and start driving, all while keeping your key fob in your pocket or purse.
The system works by using proximity sensors located in the trunks and doors, which are connected to a key radio pulse generator within the key fob. Here are a few things you should know about Audi Advanced Key:
1. Proximity Detection
An Audi with proximity detection enables you to start and enter your car without ever having to pull the key from your pocket or purse. This system lets you unlock the doors of your car and trunk as well as the engine by a single click of the sensor button on the key.
A sound-based proximity sensor also referred to a capacitive proximity sensor makes use of acoustic waves to detect the presence of objects in close proximity. The sensors use an oscillator to generate an electrical signal, which is transmitted through the air and received by the microphone, which then converts it into an audio file. The audio files are compared to determine their similarity and proximity. If they are close enough, the system will transmit an alert signal to the key and will send an ID signal that is in line with the vehicle.
The first step to a more pleasant driving experience is proximity detection. The Audi advanced key comes with remote start functionality, which allows you the ability to start your vehicle from outside the range of your key FOB. This is useful when you are taking groceries out of the trunk, or securing children in their seats, or packing for a family outing.
Audi pre sense basic is a safety feature that helps you avoid accidents by taking action before a collision occurs. It integrates the data from several other systems, including the front camera and radar sensors of Audi side assist, to determine the probability of a collision and alert drivers. It also triggers automatic braking up to 250 km/h (155.3) and inform the driver via an alert message displayed in the head-up and virtual cockpit display.

2. Authentication
The Audi advanced key system communicates directly with the car sensors when you press the lock button on your key fob. It sends a message to the car's computer that confirms that the key fob is an authorized key fob. This prevents unauthorized entry to the vehicle without the authentic key fob.
The key fob can also be used to start the vehicle from a pocket or purse. Audi's advanced key system uses proximity sensors in the trunk lid, doors and key fob. If the key fob is within roughly five feet of the vehicle, the sensors will detect your presence and unlock the doors. When you open the trunk or use the door handle the car recognizes the key and starts the motor.
You can also utilize the key fob in order 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 when the key fob is in your pocket or purse. The car's sensors will verify that the key fob is genuine and then start the engine after they've confirmed it.
The Audi advanced key system features a keyless entry function that allows you to unlock your car's doors by pressing the handle on the outside of the door. This is extremely useful when your hands are stuffed or when you're wearing gloves, such as when you're bringing groceries or children into the vehicle. The system also has a trunk release button, so you can open the trunk using a kick gesture, another useful feature if you have a lot on your hands.

3. Keyless Entry
Keyless entry systems can be a huge convenience when you're carrying your kids, groceries or gear. You can unlock your vehicle by simply touching a button or sensor mounted on the handle of the door (some models have the technology in the lock). The key fob can also activate the sensors inside the vehicle when you are carrying it. This lets it know that you are in the vicinity and that your finger is pressing a button. This can prevent the use of your vehicle by anyone else by making sure that only you are able to open the doors.
A keyless entry system will often include the ability to remotely start your vehicle without a physical key. Sensors that are mounted in the trunk or tailgate and, sometimes, in the doors of the vehicle are employed to achieve this. These sensors will unlock the doors and activate the engine of the vehicle if the fob is within 5 feet. After that, you can push a button to start your vehicle. This is a great method to get your car warm and toasty before you head off to work in the morning, or when it's cold outside.
Some of the most sophisticated versions of keyless entry don't require any key fobs at all. These cars can be unlocked and started with a smartphone app. This is a great option for business owners or website families who want their employees to have access to their company cars. Certain keyless entry systems even remember the driver's preferred seating position or cabin temperature. This can be a huge time saver while you're pulling towards the parking lot.
One of the more advanced keyless entry systems comes with a rear hatch function which can be activated with just a simple touch of your foot. The hatch will then close and secure the cargo area in a matter of seconds. This technology is offered in a wide range of Audi models and could be included as an option as a standard feature or an upgrade depending on the model. These systems aren't 100% secure, and they can be bypassed by thieves who have some technical expertise.
4. Push-Button Start
Audi, unlike many other brands of vehicles that offer remote starting from the factory, doesn't offer it. 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 drivers who need an easy method to get their car going without the need for key insertion. With this feature, you can unlock the doors of your Audi A4 and start the engine by pressing the button. This button is in the same place as the ignition on a conventional car.
You'll require your key fob and to be within 5 feet of the vehicle to activate this feature. Sensors in the trunk or door handles will be activated once you and your key fob are within five feet of the vehicle. Once you have the correct code and a clear signal the car will allow you to lock or start the car.
You can drive your Audi A4 with the touch of a button without having to search through your purse or pockets for your keys. This feature is perfect for people who spend a lot of time in parking lots, and it can be beneficial if you need to quickly warm up your car to commute or run errands.
When you get in your car the system continues to communicate with your key fob. This is done using encrypted signals, which helps to ensure that the system cannot be compromised. It also provides a Keyless Go card as a backup. It is credit card sized and can be used to unlock your vehicle if your key fob is lost or malfunctioning.
If you have an Audi Advanced Key installed and you are experiencing difficulty starting your vehicle it could be a problem with the key. The local Audi dealer can help you with this. They can carry out a procedure in the user's manual which will repair keys and the car.
