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 while keeping your key fob in your pocket or in your purse.
This system works through proximity sensors located in the doors and trunks, coupled with the key radio pulse generator in the key fob. Here are some of the things you need to know about Audi Advanced Key:

1. Proximity Detection
An Audi with proximity detection enables you to start and enter your vehicle without having to pull the key out of your pocket or purse. This system lets you unlock your car's doors, trunk and engine with a single touch of the sensor button on the key.
A sound-based sensor, also called a capacitive sensor, is able to detect the presence of objects in the vicinity by using an acoustic signal. The sensors generate a signal using an oscillator. This signal is then released into the air via a microphone which transforms it into an audio file. The audio files are then examined to determine their proximity and similarity. If they are similar enough the system will send a wake-up signal to key and will send an ID signal that matches with the vehicle.
The first step to a more pleasant driving experience is proximity detection. The Audi advanced key also has remote start capabilities, which allows you to start the engine of your car without leaving the range of your key's 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.

2. Authentication

The system sends a code to the car's computer which confirms that it is an authorized key fob. This security measure prevents unauthorized access to the vehicle without a valid key fob.
It also allows drivers to start their cars using the key fob that is in the pocket or purse. The Audi advanced key system utilizes proximity sensors on the doors and the lid of the trunk and a radio pulse generator in the key fob. The sensors open the doors when the key fob is close proximity to the vehicle (about five feet). When you open the trunk or use the door handle the car recognizes the key and begins 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 built into the center console when the key fob is in your purse or pocket. The car's sensors check the authenticity of the key fob, and once it's confirmed the engine will begin.

It's a fantastic feature to use for when you've got a full hand or are wearing gloves. For instance, when you're bringing groceries or children in the car.

3. Keyless Entry
Keyless entry systems can be a huge convenience when you are carrying your kids, groceries or other gear. You can open your vehicle by simply touching a sensor or button located on the door's handle (some models also have this technology inside the lock). If you're carrying a key fob, it'll send a signal to activate the vehicle's sensors so that it knows you're in the vicinity and that your finger is firmly on the button. This will prevent any unauthorized access to the vehicle by making sure only you are able to open the doors.
Another feature commonly included in keyless entry systems is the capability to start your car remotely without a key. This is achieved by through sensors in the trunk, tailgate and sometimes even in the vehicle's doors. The sensors will start the engine of the vehicle and then unlock the doors when the fob is within a certain distance of the car, typically around 5 feet. Then, you can press a button to start your vehicle. This is a great way to warm your car before you leave in the morning to go to work or when it's cold outside.
Some of the more advanced versions of keyless entry don't need a key fob at all. These cars can be started and unlocked using smartphones. This is a great option for families or business owners who want to provide their employees with an easy way to access vehicles for business. Certain keyless entry systems can even remember the driver's preferred seating position or cabin temperature. This could save you a lot of time when you go to a parking area.
One of the most sophisticated keyless entry systems has a rear hatch function which can be activated with just a simple touch of your foot. This will close and secure the cargo area in a matter of seconds. This technology is available in a variety of Audi models and can be an option as a standard feature or an upgrade, based on the model. Be aware that these systems aren't completely secure and could be hacked by savvy thieves with some technical expertise or tools.
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. It's called the Audi Advanced Key.

With this feature, you are able to unlock your Audi A4's doors or start the engine by pressing the button. This button is in the same location as the ignition on a conventional car.
You'll require your key fob as well as to be within 5 feet of the vehicle in order to activate this feature. Sensors in the trunk and door handles will begin to activate when 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 be able to lock or start the car.
With the press of the button, you can effortlessly connect your Audi A4 and begin driving without the need to look through your purse or pockets to find the keys. This feature is ideal for those who park their vehicles frequently. It is also an excellent benefit for those who want to warm up their vehicle quickly for a commute.

It also offers you the Keyless Go card as a backup. It is credit card sized and can be used to unlock the vehicle in case the key fob is lost or malfunctioning.
