Does the Audi RS5 have keyless entry?
3 Answers
Audi RS5 does not come with factory-installed keyless entry, but it can be optionally installed. Keyless Start System: This system allows starting the vehicle without physically turning a key. Simply keep the key in a bag or pocket, press the in-car button or turn the ignition knob to start the engine. The well-known one-button start is a derivative function of this system. Keyless Entry System: The keyless entry system refers to an intelligent system that utilizes advanced RFID wireless radio frequency technology and identity code recognition. It eliminates the need for traditional mechanical keys to unlock the vehicle doors or start the engine. Instead, it only requires a key equipped with a smart chip to sense and operate the vehicle.
I've been following the technical details of the Audi RS5 for a long time. This car indeed features a keyless entry system, officially called the Audi Advanced Key system. It allows the car to automatically sense the key when you approach the door and unlock itself, while starting the engine only requires a push of a button. This system relies on short-range wireless communication technology, with sensors around the vehicle detecting the key signal, keeping the distance within 2 meters to prevent accidental unlocking. On the high-performance version of the RS5, it's integrated perfectly, capable of remembering seat and air conditioning settings, with quick and delay-free startup. I also learned that it has been standard equipment since the 2017 model year, unlike some entry-level versions where it's an optional extra. It's super convenient to use, especially when carrying shopping bags, eliminating the hassle of fumbling for keys. However, the system occasionally has minor bugs, such as false fault reports when the key battery is weak, so regular battery checks are important. Overall, it enhances the driving experience and is worth praising, but maintenance should be done at professional shops to prevent circuit aging issues.
I've been driving the Audi RS5 for several months now, and the keyless entry feature is absolutely hassle-free and convenient. With this feature, the car automatically unlocks as I approach the door, and starting the engine is just a one-button operation—super handy for daily use. It's especially practical on rainy days or when I have my hands full, as I don't need to fumble for the key to unlock; just pull the door handle directly. The car detects the key in my pocket or bag and responds instantly when within range. The RS5's implementation of this feature is quite smart—sometimes, when I park to grab coffee and return, unlocking and starting the car happens seamlessly. However, I recommend not relying on it too much, as occasional signal interference might cause delays. Just make sure the key battery is charged. This feature has made my driving experience more comfortable and reduced daily inconveniences. Additionally, the anti-theft aspect is decent—I always confirm the lights flash after locking before walking away. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this high-tech convenience, as it enhances efficiency in using the car.
