    the cars with push button and no slot, have a spot where you can place the key fob that will allow it to start if the car can't sense the key in the car. I can't remember where mine is on the a7 but i think it is center console or maybe near steering column. Same place you place the key when coding new keys through odis. There are different versions of the key so regular probably just means non proximity key (opens doors when you get close). Not the actual metal key portion that is only used to unlock the car. Just a guess

    Ah okay, I know what you're talking about. It reads the RFID chip in the fob. I've had to hold the fob there before when my battery was low

    Yes, I should have been a little more clear. I had the key cut to open door only and the fob has to be held against center console to start the car. There's a clear difference in the pcb's when they keys are opened up.
