What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi prioritizes comfort and convenience. This is why all new models in our showroom have keyless entry and starting. This technology allows you to get into your car and start driving, all while keeping your key fob in your purse or pocket.
This system operates through proximity sensors in the trunks and doors, paired with the key radio pulse generator inside the key fob. Here are some things you need to know about Audi Advanced Key:
1. Proximity Detection
An Audi equipped with proximity detection enables you to enter and start your car without needing to take the key out of your pocket or purse. The access and authorization system works through automatic data exchange between your convenience key and your car, allowing you to unlock the trunk and doors and even start the engine with just a press on your key.
A sound-based proximity sensor, also known as a capacitive sensor, employs acoustic waves in order to detect the presence of objects in close proximity. The sensors generate an oscillator-generated signal. The signal is transmitted into the air by a microphone which converts it into an audio file. Then, the audio files are examined to determine the degree of similarity and how close they are. If they are in close proximity to each other, 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 first step to an easier and more enjoyable driving experience. The Audi advanced key also comes with remote start capabilities that lets you initiate your vehicle's engine beyond the range of your key FOB. This is helpful when loading groceries in the boot, or securing your children in their seats or packing for a trip with the family.
Audi pre sense basic is a security feature which helps you to avoid accidents by taking action prior to the collision happens. 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 the automatic braking 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
When you press your key fob's lock button the Audi advanced key system communicates with the car's sensors. The system sends a confirmation code to the computer of the car to confirm that it's a valid key fob. This prevents any entry into the vehicle without the authentic key fob.
It also allows drivers to start their vehicles using the key fob that is in their purse or pocket. Audi's advanced key system makes use of proximity sensors inside the trunk lid, doors and key fob. When the key fob is within roughly five feet of the vehicle, the sensors sense your presence and unlock the doors. Then, when you use the door handle or open the trunk the vehicle detects your key and starts the engine.
You can also make use of your key fob in order to activate the start-up feature of your vehicle's push button. If the key fob is inside of your pocket or purse you can press the Start/Stop button integrated in the center console to engage the engine. The car's sensors will confirm the authenticity of the key fob and start the engine once they've verified it.
The Audi advanced key system features a keyless entry function that lets you open the doors of your vehicle with a touch of the handle on the exterior of the door. It's a great feature for when you've got a full hand or are wearing gloves. For example, when you're carrying groceries or kids in the car. The system also comes with a trunk release button, that lets you open the read more trunk with the kick gesture, a useful feature when you have a lot on your hands.

3. Keyless Entry
A keyless entry system can be a great option when you're carrying children, groceries or other gear. You can unlock your car by pressing a button or sensor mounted on the door handle (some models have this technology built right into the lock). The key fob can also activate the sensors inside the vehicle when you are carrying it. This informs the vehicle that you're in the vicinity and that your hand is pressed at the touch of a button. This will prevent unauthorised use of the vehicle by making sure only you are able to open the doors.
A keyless entry system will often include the ability to remotely start your vehicle without the use of a physical key. Sensors in the tailgate or trunk or even within the doors of the vehicle are used to achieve this. The sensors will open the doors and turn on the engine of the vehicle if the fob is within 5 feet. Then, you press the button to start your vehicle. This is a great way to warm up your car before you leave in the morning to go to work or when it is cold outside.
Some of the most advanced keyless entry systems don't even require a fob. The cars can be started and locked using smartphones. This is a great option for business owners or families who want their employees to have easy access to company vehicles. Certain keyless entry systems even keep track of the driver's preferred seating position or cabin temperature. This is a huge time saver when you're pulling into the parking lot.
Some of the more advanced variations of keyless entries systems come with an activated rear hatch that will automatically close and secure your cargo area by simply tapping your foot. This technology is offered in many Audi models and could be a standard feature, or an upgrade depending on the model. These systems aren't 100% secure, and they can be tampered with by thieves with a little technical knowledge.
4. Push-Button Start
Contrary to other brands, Audi does not offer remote start on its vehicles in a factory capacity. Audi offers a second option with similar features to remote start, called the Audi Advanced Key.
This feature is not a remote start system but it's a great option for drivers who want to start their car without having to insert keys. With this feature, you can open the doors of your Audi A4 and start the engine by pressing the button. The button is located in the same location as the ignition button on the standard car.
To activate this feature, you need to have your key fob in your pocket and close enough to the vehicle. Sensors in the trunk and door handles will begin to activate when you and your key fob are within approximately five feet of the vehicle. Once you have an unambiguous signal and the correct code, the vehicle will then allow you to close the doors or start the engine.
You can drive your Audi A4 with the touch of a button and not have to dig around in your pockets and purse for your keys. This feature is perfect for people who park their cars frequently. It is also a great asset for those who need to warm up their car quickly for a commute.
Once you are in your car, the system continues to communicate with your key fob. This is done with encrypted signals to protect against the hacker from gaining access to your key fob. It is also possible to use a Keyless Go Card as a backup. It is a credit card-sized card that can be used to open your vehicle in case your key fob fails or gets lost.
If you have an Audi Advanced Key installed and are having problems starting your vehicle it could be due to a problem with the key. This is something your local Audi dealer can help with. They can perform a routine in the user manual that will fix keys and the vehicle.
