What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi cars are renowned for their comfort and convenience, which is the reason the latest models we display in our showroom have keyless entry and start. This allows you to enter your car and begin driving, while keeping the key fob in your pocket or purse.
This system is controlled by proximity sensors located in the doors, trunks and key fobs. Here are some things you should know about Audi Advanced Key:
1. Proximity Detection
An Audi with proximity detection allows you to enter and start your vehicle without having to pull the key from your pocket or purse. This access and authorization system works by automating data exchange between your convenience key and your car which allows you to open the trunk and doors and even start the engine with just one press on your key.
A proximity sensor that is based on sound also referred to a capacitive proximity sensor, makes use of acoustic waves to detect the presence of objects in close proximity. The sensors produce a signal using an oscillator. This signal is then sent into the air by the microphone that converts it into an audio file. The audio files are compared to determine the degree of similarity and how close they are. When they are close enough that the system sends a wake-up signal to the key and will send an ID signal that matches with the vehicle.
Proximity detection is just the first step to an easier and more enjoyable driving experience. The Audi advanced key also has remote start, which allows you to start the engine of your car without leaving the range of your key's FOB. This is helpful for loading groceries into the boot, locking your children in their seats or packing for an excursion with your family.
Audi pre sense basic, for instance it is a safety function that helps you avoid accidents by taking preventive action prior to collisions occurring. It integrates the data from different systems, including the front camera and radar sensors of Audi side assist, to determine the probability of a collision, and also warn drivers. It can also trigger automatic braking at speeds up to 250 km/h (155.3) and notify the driver with a message in the virtual cockpit and head-up display.

2. Authentication
The Audi advanced key system communicates directly with the car's sensors whenever you hit the lock button on your key fob. This sends a code to the car's computer that confirms that the key fob is a valid key fob. This security measure prevents unauthorized entry to the vehicle without the proper key fob.
It also enables drivers to start their cars using the key fob in their pocket or purse. The Audi advanced key system makes use of proximity sensors inside the trunk lid and doors and a radio pulse generator in the key fob. If the key fob is within roughly five feet of the vehicle, the sensors detect your presence and unlock the doors. When you then use the door handle or open the trunk, the vehicle recognizes your key and starts the engine.
You can also use your key fob to activate the start-up feature of your vehicle's push button. When the key fob is in of your purse or pocket you can press the Start/Stop button integrated in the center console to start the engine. The car's sensors check the key fob's authenticity, and once it's confirmed, the engine will start.
The Audi advanced key system features a keyless entry feature that allows you to unlock your car doors by simply touching the handle on the outside of the door. This is extremely practical when your hands are stuffed or when you're wearing gloves, for instance when you're bringing groceries or kids into the vehicle. The system also comes with a trunk release button, that lets you open the trunk with the kick gesture, a useful feature if you have a lot on your hands.

3. Keyless Entry
Keyless entry systems are an amazing convenience, especially when you're carrying your kids, groceries or gear. You can open your car by pressing a button or sensor on the door handle (some models have this technology built into the lock). If you're carrying the key fob, it will send a signal to activate the sensors of the vehicle so that it knows you're nearby and your hand is at the button. This will prevent unauthorised access to the vehicle by making sure that only you have access to the doors.
A keyless entry system will often include the ability to remotely start your vehicle without the use of a physical key. Sensors that are mounted in the tailgate or trunk, and sometimes in the doors of the vehicle are employed to accomplish 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 a button to start your car. This is a great way to get your car warm and cozy 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 cars can be unlocked and then started by using a smartphone application. This is a great solution for business owners or families who want their employees to have easy access to their company vehicles. Certain keyless entry systems can even remember the driver's preferred seat position or cabin temperature. This can save you lots of time when you get to a parking area.
Some of the more sophisticated variations of keyless entries systems include the ability to activate the rear hatch with a touch which will automatically shut and secure your cargo space by simply tapping your foot. This feature is available in a variety of Audi models and can be offered as an option as a standard feature or an upgrade, based on the model. Be aware that these systems are not foolproof and can be circumvented 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 that are manufactured in factory capacity. However, the brand does offer a second option that has similar features as remote start called the Audi Advanced Key.
While not a full remote start system, this feature is a great alternative for drivers who need an easy way to start their car without the need for key insertion. With this feature, you are able to unlock your Audi A4's doors or start the engine by pressing a button. This button is located in the same place you normally locate the ignition in a conventional vehicle.
To activate this feature, you be required to have your key fob in your pocket and be close enough to the vehicle. Sensors in the trunk and door handles here will be activated when you and your key fob are within five feet of the vehicle. Once you have an equivocal signal and correct code, the vehicle will then allow you to lock the doors or start the engine.
You can begin driving your Audi A4 with the touch of a button without having to search through your purse or pockets for your keys. This feature is ideal for people who park their cars frequently. It is also an excellent benefit for those who want to warm up their car quickly to get on the road.
When you're in your car it will continue to communicate with your keyfob. This is done using encrypted signals, which helps to ensure that the system won't be compromised. It also comes with the Keyless Go card as a backup, which is credit-card size and can be used to unlock the vehicle in case the key fob is lost or malfunctioning.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Audi Advanced Key and you are having trouble getting it to start, it could be an issue with the key or the vehicle.
