The Audi connect key is a digital key that allows you to unlock, lock and start your Audi car using your smartphone.
This four-page German guide explains the Audi connect Schlüssel, a digital vehicle key that lets a smartphone take over the functions of a conventional car key: opening, closing and starting the engine. It lists the prerequisites — an active dealer-verified myAudi account, a compatible NFC smartphone and the myAudi app — and walks through assigning a key to yourself or to another person, including the compatibility check and the entry of the 4-digit PIN and the 6-digit security code shown in the MMI.
The guide also covers everyday use, such as holding the smartphone to the driver's door handle, placing it in the universal phone holder in the center console and pressing the start/stop button. Later sections describe how the main user revokes permissions in the myAudi app, how the function is deactivated in the vehicle's MMI, and how the Audi connect key card is activated and automatically deactivated again. This manual is written in German.
