What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi prioritizes comfort and convenience. This is why all new models in our showroom include keyless entry and starting. This technology allows you to get into your car and start driving while keeping the key fob in your pocket or purse.
The system works by using proximity sensors located in the trunks and doors, coupled with a key radio pulse generator within the key fob. Here are some things you should know about Audi Advanced Key:
1. Proximity Detection
Audi proximity detection enables you to begin and enter your vehicle without having to remove the key from your pocket or purse. The access and authorization system works by enabling a data exchange between the convenience key and your vehicle that allows you to unlock the trunk and doors, and even start the engine with just a touch of a sensor button on your key.
A sound-based proximity sensor also referred to a capacitive sensor, makes use of acoustic waves to detect the presence of objects near. The sensors make use of an oscillator to create the signal, which is transmitted through the air and picked up by an audio microphone, which transforms it into an audio file. The audio files are evaluated to determine their similarity and proximity. If they are similar enough that the system sends a wake-up signal to the key and transmit an ID signal that matches with the vehicle.
Proximity detection is the beginning of an easier and more enjoyable driving experience. The Audi advanced key also comes with a remote start capability that lets you initiate your vehicle's engine without leaving the range of your key FOB.
