What is the Audi Advanced Key?
Audi vehicles prioritize comfort and convenience, which is why the latest models in our showroom feature keyless entry and start. This technology lets you start your car and begin driving, while keeping the key fob in your purse or pocket.
This system works through proximity sensors in the trunks and doors, coupled with a key radio pulse generator within the key fob. Here are some things you need to know about Audi Advanced Key.
1. Proximity Detection
An Audi equipped with proximity detection enables you to open and start your car without needing to take the key from your pocket or purse. This system lets you unlock the doors of your car and trunk as well as the engine by a single click of the sensor button on the key.
A sound-based proximity sensor also referred to a capacitive proximity sensor, makes use of acoustic waves to detect the presence of nearby objects. The sensors employ an oscillator to create a signal that is then transmitted through the air and picked up by the microphone, which then converts it into an audio file. The audio files are then evaluated to determine their similarity and proximity. When they are close enough, the system will transmit a wake-up signal to key and transmit 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 has remote start capabilities which gives you the ability to start your car outside the range of your key FOB. This can be helpful when you are loading groceries into the trunk, or securing children in their seats or packing for a family outing.
