Audi A5: New key holds important car information

The new key of the Audi A5 is more than a key, it's also some data storage to make it a workshop visit easier for you.

You can appreciate one example of how the Audi A5 marries good design and high functionality as soon as you pick up the key: with its soft contours and pleasant surfaces it sits beautifully in the hand. But the key also represents the modern electronics and the advanced equipment level of the Audi A5. For one thing, it dispenses with the conventional key bit. The innovative key communicates electronically with the vehicle electrical system as soon as it is inserted into the cockpit. Pressing the key stops and starts the engine.

The new key can also store important information, such as the car’s current mileage or warning messages from the Audi A5’s driver information system. The data are always up to date and available to allow staff at a dealership to receive the vehicle for servicing quickly and easily.
