They left out the most important piece of advice about your audi advanced key, and that is that it cost a rediculous $400 to replace. $300 for the key, plus $100 for the programming.
i work on car lots as a interior repairman and i kinda laugh at these keys. most people find if something is heavy it oozes quality, well these audi keys are quite weighty, BUT if you take the silver key end off it weighs nothing. so i just found it funny how they play to a humans psychology.
I love Audi, in fact mine is A4 2011, but I thought it is a bit of a daft idea to keep the key in your pocket when getting into the car, since it will be very difficult to get it out of your freaking pocket when you are seated, yet someone in Audi managed to get such a not so useful idea in.
Idk I think you are just supposed to hold the key in your hand, do the gesture, then the car is unlocked. Enter the car, with keys in hand, and start the engine. You can keep it in your pocket and do the gesture, but youd be a cornball like the chick in this video.
Yall seem negative about this, I think its dope af.. I just bought a audi s5 v8 manual..I dont have to use the key for anything.. I can open/close/trunk with just one hand...Start/turn off the car with just one finger #ThatisAll
I have this same model Audi. But my key won’t work if I press the start button. It says No Key Identified. All buttons of key work. It would only start the vehicle if I put the key in slot. Any suggestions?
Same as my key they are spot on might get a leather fob jacket they look mint would love to have a bit more power mines only 2ltr tdi need to get abit more on take of anyone help
Jack Sparrow VW makes Audi so you will see a lot of similarities. It may, but I doubt that the Passat has keyless start. You still have to put the key in. In my mom's Audi Q7 the key stays in my pocket and I simply push the button. Now days even entry level compact cars like Chevy Cruze and Ford Focus can have push start so it's not an exclusive feature like it used to be.
I know VW makes audi, seat, škoda, they own 70% (or more) Lamborghini, ferrari, bugatti. ... maybe even more haha, but yeah the tehnogy it's amazing nowadays it's everything is posible
It may possible the unlock / locking door motors went out on you're vehicle. I own a 2009 Audi A4, and both my drivers side and rear passenger door do not unlock or lock via keyfob. To open drivers door without keyfob, just press the small button on back of keyfob to release the laser cut key and use that to both unlock and lock the door. As for thr cost of fixing both the locks on my doors at the Audi dealership? Its like over 1k, so I said screw that and just use this old fashioned method.
I like not having to dig the keys out of my pocket, avoiding the little scratches that inevitably accumulate around the key slot, and, having owned some older cars, I can tell you that lock cylinders DO wear out or break. Having to spend a minute jiggling the keys around before they will turn every time you unlock or start your car sucks. Also, keyless ignitions are much much harder to hotwire or bypass by destroying the lock cylinder. Even as a big time car enthusiast, I must say that I don't really understand why turning the key would be so pleasurable. I understand lamenting the disappearance of the manual transmission, but a physical key? I'm more than happy to just keep the key in my pocket and push a button.
ISSUES 1) if key fob is cold, it does not work (the red LED does not blink when pushing buttons). anybody else have this problem? 2) is there a way to clean the circuit board and contacts? will spraying contact cleaner into the interior of the shell be okay? 3) i do not like key fobs that can operate car locks or ignition by merely being in the proximity, it is only a matter of time before hackers will defeat the security coding and steal your car.
@@stevegrimes21 MANUAL are not for me the clutch is the worstest Component to Brake They can shove clutches up their Arseholes I’d have an automatic any day
Man how complicated! BMW is so much more advanced. It had the push start stop system since 2001! All BMW models now a days don't have a slot to put the keys in. Just keep it in your pocket and GO. It is not an option unlike the Mercedes C Class. Come on. You have to pay extra for a push start stop system? No thanks bro.
+Zuga's LP yes BMW is "so much more advanced" because it has doesnt have a slot to put the key in .... lol ok ... 1st .. bmw's built in the same period as this audi also had a slot to put the key in , and a button .. even if the system wasnt a "push to start" , which was kind of stupid 2nd the keyless entrey system was invented and introduced for the 1st time in a mercedes s-class in 1998 and Mercedes offers it as an option because some clients do not like the system , considering it a gimmick
That is not the same thing.If you drive a Japanese car my friend there is no comparison to the feel of an Audi I now have an Audi except for the cost of repairs it's great,more stability more turning Ratio....
