Key with a sharp memory
The new key is another design item that also provides sophisticated functionality. With its soft contours and pleasant surfaces it sits beautifully in the hand. But above all, the innovative key dispenses with the conventional key bit. This is possible because it communicates electronically with the vehicle’s electrical system as soon as it is inserted into the cockpit. It can also store important information, such as the vehicle’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 after-sales staff at a dealership to receive the vehicle for servicing quickly and easily.

Sounds good to me. Does anyone have a picture for it? Will it look like the E90 BMW 3 series key? I am curious.

If so, it makes the Engine Start/Stop button more natural because it is no longer needed to turn the key.

Yes, I think they taped the lamp there for a better picture - it was too dark.

I don't think we are supposed to see that. It looks like some junk yard car with a saggy headliner.
