What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi puts a premium on comfort and ease of use. This is why all new models in our showroom come with keyless entry and start. This technology allows you to get into your car and start driving, while keeping the key fob in your pocket or purse.
This system works through proximity sensors in the doors and trunks coupled with an electronic key radio inside the key fob. Here are a few points you need to know about Audi Advanced Key.
1. Proximity Detection
An Audi equipped with proximity detection enables you to start and enter your car without ever needing to take the key from your pocket or purse. This authorization and access system works through automatic data exchange between your convenience key and the vehicle that allows you to unlock the trunk and doors, and even activate the engine with a single click on your key.
A sensor based on sound, also called capacitive sensors, detects the presence of objects in the vicinity using acoustic wave. The sensors generate an oscillator-generated signal. This signal is then released into the air via a microphone which transforms it into an audio file. The audio files are then examined to determine their similarity and proximity. 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 only the first step towards a more comfortable driving experience. The Audi advanced key also comes with remote start capabilities, which allows you to initiate your vehicle's engine without leaving the range of your key FOB. This is helpful for loading groceries into the boot, securing your children in their seats, or packing for a trip with the family.
