The technique for starting the Q5 using the key fob depends on the year of manufacture. In earlier models of Audi, the key is turned while the brake pedal is depressed and put into a slot in the dashboard. Similar to pressing the start/stop button, this will start the engine. The fob is “dropped” over a symbol of a key with lines extending from it in subsequent variants. The driver’s dashboard may include this emblem on the right side, just to the right of the steering wheel. This sign may be seen on the right side of the first cupholder in the center console of the 2018 Q5. Place the fob in the cupholder, press the start/stop button on the dash, then depress the brake pedal to start the car. The insignia is present on 2019 models inside the center console’s storage compartment.
Placing a dead key fob directly on the start/stop button will start an Audi Q5.

What happens to the key in an Audi Q5?
In the 2018 Audi A5 and Q5, the mark is now located in the cup holder on the driver’s side. It may be challenging to see the mark because it is smaller and darkened. Similar to the Q7, the key fob can be inserted into the cup holder, making it easier to start the vehicle with just one hand (and one foot).

Because the battery has been disconnected or the remote control’s battery has been changed, the remote control key and vehicle may not be in sync. The remote control key may have been momentarily turned off if other senders (such as mobile phones, TV stations, wireless headphones, etc.) use the same frequency band. This is because it is impossible to clearly indicate the remote control key. This is required to stop other unconnected senders from accidentally unlocking the car.

Can a keyless Audi Q5 be used to start it?
You need a push-button start for your Q5. The key for my Q5 needs to be pushed into a hole in the dash panel in order for the engine to start. The valet key in the glove box is the only means I have to start the engine without the key.
How do you use a valet key to start a car?
The valet key may be used to unlock your car just like a standard car key because it is made to be able to access your car doors. Turn it after inserting it into the lock cylinder to gain access.
In some automobiles, a cover item might conceal the lock cylinders. Underneath the door handle, there is typically a hole. To uncover the lock cylinder and remove the lid, use the valet key.
