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 purse or pocket.
The system is controlled by proximity sensors in the doors, trunks and key fobs. Here are a few things you need to be aware of Audi Advanced Key:
1. Proximity Detection
Audi proximity detection allows you to open and get into your vehicle without having to remove the key from your purse or pocket. This feature lets you unlock your car's doors and trunk, as well as the engine, by a single click of the sensor button on the key.
A proximity sensor based on sound is also known as a capacitive sensor, uses acoustic waves to detect the presence of nearby objects. The sensors use an oscillator to generate an electrical signal, which is transmitted through the air and received by a microphone, which converts it into an audio file. The audio files are examined to determine their proximity and similarity. If they are close enough, the system will transmit a wake-up signal to key and will send an ID signal that is in line with the vehicle.
Proximity detection is only the first step to a more convenient driving experience. The Audi advanced key also comes with a remote start capability that lets you start the engine of your car without leaving the range of your key's FOB. This is useful when loading groceries in the boot, or securing your children in their seats, or packing for an excursion with your family.
Audi pre sense basic, in addition it is a safety function that helps you avoid accidents by taking preventive measures before collisions occur. It combines the data of several other systems, including the front camera and radar sensors from Audi side assist, to determine the probability of a collision, and also warn drivers. It can also trigger the automatic brake system at speeds of up to 250 km/h (155,3) and notify the driver via the virtual cockpit or head-up display.

2. Authentication
The Audi advanced key system connects directly to the car's sensors when you hit the lock button on your key fob. The system sends a code to the car's system that confirms that it is a valid key fob. This prevents any entry into the vehicle without the correct key fob.
The key fob can also be used to start the car from the pocket or purse. Audi's advanced key system uses proximity sensors inside 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 sense your presence and allow you to unlock the doors. Then, when you pull the door handle or open the trunk, the vehicle recognizes your key and kicks off the engine.
You can also utilize your key fob to activate the start-up feature of your vehicle's push button. 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 purse or pocket. The car's sensors confirm the authenticity of the key fob, and when it's confirmed, the engine will start.
The Audi advanced key system has a keyless entry feature that allows you to open the doors of your vehicle with a touch of the handle on the exterior of the door. It's a great feature when you've got hands full or wearing gloves. For instance, if you're carrying groceries or children in the car. The system also has the trunk release button that lets you open the trunk with a kick gesture, another helpful feature when you have a lot on your hands.

3. Keyless Entry
Keyless entry systems are a great convenience, especially when you're carrying your kids, groceries or other gear. You can open your vehicle by simply touching a button or sensor mounted on the handle of the door (some models also have this technology in the lock). The key fob can also activate the sensors in the vehicle if you are carrying it. This informs the vehicle that you're in the vicinity and that your finger is on the button. This will stop unauthorised use of the vehicle, by ensuring only you can unlock the doors.
Another feature that is often included in keyless entry systems is the capability to start your car remotely without a key. Sensors that are mounted in the trunk or tailgate or even in the doors of the vehicle are used to achieve this. These sensors will unlock the doors and turn on the engine of the vehicle if the fob is within 5 feet. Then, you press an appropriate 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 advanced keyless entry systems don't require a fob. These vehicles can be opened and locked using smartphones. This is a great solution for families or business owners who wish to give their employees an easy method of using company vehicles. Certain keyless entry systems even remember the driver's preferred seating position and temperature in the cabin. This is a huge time saver while you're pulling towards the parking lot.
One of the more advanced keyless entry systems comes here with a rear hatch function which can be activated with simply a simple gesture of the foot. This will close and secure the cargo area automatically. This technology is offered in a wide range of Audi models and can be included as a standard feature, or an upgrade depending on the model. These systems are not foolproof, and can be hacked by thieves with some technical knowledge.
4. Push-Button Start
Unlike many competing vehicle brands, Audi does not offer remote start on its vehicles in a factory capacity. However, the company offers a different alternative that comes with the same features as remote start called the Audi Advanced Key.
While not a full remote start system, this is a great alternative for drivers who need an easy method to start their car without the requirement of key insertion. With this feature, you can unlock your Audi A4's doors or start the engine by pressing a button. This button is in the same location as the ignition on a conventional car.
To activate this feature, you be required to have your key fob in your pocket and be close enough to the car. Sensors in the trunk or door handles 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 vehicle will allow you to lock or start the car.
By pressing the button, you can quickly enter your Audi A4 and begin driving without the need to fumble 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 it can be an asset if you need to quickly warm up your vehicle for a commute or run errands.
When you're in your car it will continue to communicate with your key fob. This is done by using encrypted signals to avoid the hacker from gaining access to your key fob. It also offers you an Keyless Go card as a backup. It's credit card sized and can be used to unlock your vehicle in the event that your key fob gets lost or is malfunctioning.
