1. Proximity Detection
An Audi with proximity detection enables you to enter and start your car without needing to take the key out of your pocket or purse. This system allows you to unlock the doors of your car, trunk and engine with just a touch of the sensor button on the key.
A sound-based sensor, also called a capacitive sensor, detects the presence of objects in the vicinity by using an acoustic signal. The sensors produce an oscillator-generated signal. This signal is transmitted into the air by a microphone which transforms it into an audio file. Then, the audio files are examined to determine the degree of similarity and how close they are. If they are in close proximity and the system sends a wake-up signal to the key. It will also send an ID signal matching the vehicle.
Proximity detection is just the first step towards a more convenient driving experience. The Audi advanced key also comes with remote start that lets you start your car's engine from outside of the range of your key's FOB. This is useful when you are loading groceries into the boot, securing your children in their seats, or packing for an outing with the family.
