Has anyone been told by their salesman/dealership that the advance key option on the Q5 have changed? I have on order a 2012 3.2 Premium Plus, NAV, B&O, and the advanced key option (for $550). Today, my salesman told me that Audi has changed the advanced key option, and it is now included with the Premium Plus without having to pay the extra $550. I confirmed with my salesman that he is talking about being able to walk up to the Q5 and lock/ unlock doors without using the FOB or key. He said yes. The dealership then rewrote my sales order and subtracted $550 from it.
While this is great news that I am saving another $550, I am a little nervous that my Q5 will arrive without advance key. Can anyone confirm this? My salesman even showed me his ordering guidebook and the advance key option is no longer in there.

I'm going to be pretty peeved if this is the case.

When I ordered my Q5 at the end of July 2011, the advance key option was still there and you had to have ordered it ($550 option) in order to get it. But my salesman just told me today (8/6/2011) that it is now built into the Premium Plus. The internet manager also confirmed it. Not sure what to think.

I'm waiting for my 2.0T P+ to arrive in September and I ordered it with the Advanced Key option ($550)

The way that my salesman explained it to me, 2012 Q5 3.2 Premium Plus came with the start button only, but if you wanted the AK option, you had to pay $550 for that option. Only the prestige came with AK standard. Now, my salesman is saying that Audi has changed it and that AK is included (at least on the 3.2 Premium plus). No more $550 option.

I sent an email to my car salesperson earlier about this, and her reply was that Advanced Key was standard in the 3.2 P+ package, but that as far as she knew, it would remain an option for the 2.0T.
