The advanced key is nice.. but I cant believe they haven't added the remote starter yet. That's what we really need for the 104 degree spring weather in Texas. That first blast of hot air is horrible.

Wow, that is very competitive. BMW wants $1,000 when it operates on all 4 doors like the Q5 does. But how is Audi going to justify the Prestige price increase? It's still a pretty big jump in $$ from a fully loaded P+ with Nav, B&O, 19"'s, and now the stand-alone advanced key option for not much else...

Right, it's a $500 option on BMW 1 and 3 series but it only works for 2 doors. Rear doors - such as on the 3-series sedan and wagon, don't have the entry on the rear handles so you have to first touch on of the front handles to unlock the doors and then you can open one of the rear doors.

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.
