you can access the camera by pressing the Park assist button. This feature is active at speeds less than 7mph or when stationary.`

With my wife's 2019 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum (we had to buy that trim level just to get front parking sensors!) it only engages when you select reverse. I mean it'll beep in the front, but you don't get that sweet overhead 360 camera.
Also hers will beep like crazy in a drive through unless she puts it in park. After driving Audis for 5 years I much prefer turning it on or off as required.

W12 Aficionado
2T4R, your car is sick, man. All the bells and whistles- executive limo touches, for sure! My aim is to carry no one other than my wife for any type of distance so backseat creature comforts were and are a non-issue for me. As a matter of course, I also do not ride in the backseat of my own car. On the rare occasion, maybe the passenger seat. But it hasn't happened in this car yet.

W12 Aficionado
That's right - I believe the W12 is the top trim in the A8L line up with all the bells & whistles.. Also, which package does the ambient lights (the red ones in your photo) come with? I thought mine had it but after seeing your picture, now I am doubting it does because it is not that bright. I do have those lights in the ceiling.
Is there a way to confirm it has it? I do have the window sticker of my car but it doesn't say anything about those ambient lights?

Ambient lighting was standard in the US I believe. You can access it in the MMI via CAR, SYSTEMS, INTERIOR LIGHTING and AMBIENT LIGHTING. There you can select the color profile and various brightness.
Yours likely doesn’t look like mine because the 4-seat versions had additional lighting in the rear center console and my door cards are Audi exclusive with leather inserts in Cognac instead of the normal black Alcantara. The smoother surface and brighter color makes the light stand out much more.

In Audi's wisdom (not sarcastic) you can toggle this on or off as required, which frankly is brilliant. It helps when you need to pull the land yacht into the garage and don't want to run over a scooter.

Yes the W12 was some $55k on top of the next highest trim level, in Europe there were still TONS of options you can add.
