What is the Audi Advanced Key?

An Audi equipped with proximity detection enables you to enter and start your vehicle without having to take the key out of your pocket or purse.

A sound-based sensor is also referred to as a capacitive sensor, is able to detect the presence of objects nearby using acoustic wave. The sensors use an oscillator to generate an electrical signal, which is transmitted through the air and picked up by the microphone, which then converts it into an audio file. The audio files are compared to determine how similar they are and how close they are. When they are close enough that the system sends an alert signal to the key and send an ID signal that matches with the vehicle.

Proximity detection is the first step towards a more convenient driving experience. The Audi advanced key comes with remote start capabilities, which allows you to start your car from outside the range of your key's FOB.

The key fob can also activate the sensors in the vehicle when you are carrying it. This informs the vehicle that you are nearby and that your finger is on the button. This helps discourage the use of your vehicle by anyone else by making sure that only you have the right to open the doors.

Keyless entry systems often allow you to remotely start your car without the use of a physical key.

These sensors will unlock the doors and start the engine of the vehicle when the fob is within 5 feet. You can then push a button to start your car.
