Default Help with Advanced Key setup.

My wife and I both have 2012/2013 Audi's. She has a Q7 and I have an A7.

Here Q7 automatically unlocks when she walks up to it. She can press the square on the back of the handle and it will lock the car.

Neither of these functions work on my car. My car has the advanced key option and does not require an ignition key, only the push of the button.

Any ideas? Is the feature not activated in MMI and I"m overlooking the settings?

She has many more options in the section of MMI I believe controls this than I do. I have been looking in "central locking."

Am I in the wrong place?

Thanks

Your A7 May be a premium Plus model, which you can start the car with the key in your pocket, but the touch to open and close car door feature is not standard, its only standard on the Prestige model A7 for 2012, i am not sure about the 2013 model, if you do have a prestige 2012 A7 then take it to the dealer and have them check it out

Mine is a Premium Plus. It has the same square piece that my wife's Q7 does, but they have no function.

2012 A7 Premium Plus does not have the keyless entry unless you have the Prestige model.

However, I believe the 2013 A7 model has it in BOTH the Prestige and Premium Plus models.
