Four transmitting antennae are distributed in the
vehicle and are used by the vehicle for radio
communication with the vehicle key. The antennae
transmit on a frequency of 24.5 kHz. The vehicle key
evaluates all four signals and determines the
position in or on the vehicle based on the field
strength of the individual antennae.
The antennae are located:
–in the rear doors
–in the centre console
–in the rear bumper
The start/stop button works in the same way as the
button module, which was first used in the A8 ‘03.
For safety reasons, the button positions are
evaluated both by the control unit for access and
start authorisation and by the switch for access and
start authorisation signal.

1 The driver puts his/her hand into the finger well
of the door handle. The sensor for outer door
handle contact G415 sends the information
"Finger in finger well" to the antenna read-in unit
for keyless access authorisation J723.
2 The antenna read-in unit sends an alarm signal
to the vehicle key via the antenna for access and
start authorisation R134.
3 The antenna read-in unit sends a signal to the
vehicle key via all the antennae for access and
start authorisation.
4 Based on the signals, the vehicle key determines
the position on the vehicle and sends
information to the antenna for central locking
and anti-theft warning system R47.
5 The antenna for central locking and anti-theft
warning system receives the information.
The information is forwarded by the switch for
access and start authorisation E415 to the
control unit for access and start
authorisation J518, where it is evaluated.6 The control unit for access and start
authorisation sends the information "Opening
vehicle" on to the central control unit for the
convenience system J393 and to the door control
unit, whose door handle initiated the key query.
7 The door control unit, which received the
instruction from the control unit for access and
start authorisation, activates the lock unit, which
unlocks the door.
8 The central control unit for the convenience
system J393 sends the information "Opening
vehicle – Advanced Key" to CAN Convenience.
9 The normal unlocking process takes place.
This involves disarming, unlocking,
acknowledgement flashing and switching on of
the interior light. In addition to
acknowledgement flashing, the control unit for
access and start authorisation also sends the
lock status to the vehicle key via the switch for
access and start authorisation and the antenna
for central locking and anti-theft warning
system R47.

The tilt sensor for the anti-theft warning system is
integrated directly in control unit 2 for on-board
power supply J520 in the new Audi A6 ‘05.
The fluid-filled sensor registers changes in the
vehicle tilt both transversely and longitudinally,
thereby preventing incorrect triggering as a result of
shaking through viscous fluid and electronic delay.
The current tilt values can be read out using
measured-value blocks.
Diagnosis
– Measured-value blocks
Measured-value blocks are available for the
following functions:
– Servotronic
– Sliding roof
– Tilt angle
–Actuator test
Checks can be carried out for the following
functions, depending on the version:
– Glove compartment release
– Servotronic valve
– Sliding roof activation (can be measured
using a multimeter on the on-board power
supply control unit, sliding roof does not
open, however, if it is not released by the
central control unit for the convenience
system)
–Coding
The High-Line version of control unit 2 for
on-board power supply J520 must be coded for
the following functions:
– Tilt sensor (with or without)
– Sliding roof (with or without)
Convenience electrics
Note
The tilt sensor function can be switched off
using a button in the driver’s door panel.
Reference
For further information on the tilt sensor
function, please refer to the SSP 254,
Audi A4 ‘01 – Technology.

Interior lighting control
Standard equipment function
The standard function includes activating the inside
light in the roof lining, the front footwell lights, the
glove compartment light and the boot light.
The central control unit for the convenience
system J393 activates the inside light in the roof
lining, the boot light and the glove compartment
light directly via its own outputs and inputs. The
control unit for on-board power supply J519
activates the front footwell lights via CAN messages
from the central control unit for the convenience
system J393.
Additional equipment function (light package)
The light package additional equipment also
includes a door contour light in every door as well
as footwell lights (front and rear), which are based
on LED technology. The door contour lighting is
activated by the door control unit, which receives
the CAN messages for this from the central control
unit for the convenience system J393.
