1. Proximity Detection

A sensor based on sound is also referred to as capacitive sensors, detects the presence of objects around by using an acoustic signal. The sensors produce an oscillator-generated signal. The signal is sent into the air by the microphone that converts it to an audio file. The audio files are then evaluated to determine their proximity and similarity. When they are close enough, the system will transmit 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 a more convenient driving experience. The Audi advanced key also has remote start that lets you start the engine of your car beyond the range of your key's FOB. This is helpful when you are loading groceries into the boot, locking your children in their seats, or packing for an excursion with your family.

If you're carrying a key fob, it will send an alarm to activate the car's sensors so that it knows you're nearby and your finger is on the button. This will help prevent unauthorised use of the vehicle by ensuring only you can unlock the doors.

Another feature commonly included in keyless entry systems is the possibility to start your car remotely without a key.

These sensors will activate the engine of the vehicle and then unlock the doors when the fob is within the range of the car - typically, around 5 feet. You can then press the button to start your car. This is a great method to get your car warm and cozy before you head off to work in the morning or when it's cold outside.
