What is the Audi Advanced Key?

Audi is a firm believer in comfort and convenience. That's why all new models that we have in our showroom include keyless entry and starting. This allows you to get into your car and start driving, while keeping your key fob in pocket or purse.

1. Proximity Detection

Audi proximity detection allows you to start and enter your vehicle without having to take the key out of your pocket or purse. This system allows you to unlock the doors of your car and trunk as well as the engine with just a touch of the sensor button on the key.

A proximity sensor that is based on sound is also known as a capacitive sensor, makes use of acoustic waves to detect the presence of objects in close proximity. The sensors make use of an oscillator that generates a signal that is then transmitted through the air and picked up by a microphone, which converts it into an audio file. The audio files are then evaluated to determine their similarity and proximity. When they are close enough that the system sends a wake-up signal to key and send an ID signal that matches with the vehicle.

The first step toward a more pleasant driving experience is proximity detection. 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 FOB. This can be helpful when you are taking groceries out of the trunk, securing children in their seats, or packing for a family trip.
