    Thanks for the input. If I understand right, you mean that surround cameras will be pretty useless after this change, as they will only work when car is completely stopped? If so, then don't waste your time on this, since the functionality of surround cameras + annoying rear view when car moves is better than no functionality of surround cameras + no annoying rear view when car moves

    However, if there's some way to disable only backup camera view in main screen right after gear is no longer in R position, that would be great.

    Sort of, basically if you change the speed the cameras deactivate - all cameras will be set to that speed so will all deactivate and loose the functionality. I’ve not found a way to change just one cameras speed activation setting

    Thanks. Coming from Lexus, I thought Audi could also work the same way - deactivating rear camera depending on gear, not just speed. Oh well, I can live with that.

    Afraid not mate. Mine switch off at 7mph so you could lower yours if needed.

    A silly idea:

    What happens if you change this value to 1 MPH (or even 0 MPH)? Maybe the gearbox reverse selection will override this value (like it turns on autmatically if you select reverse) so maybe it will not turn off if you drive backwards faster then the selected value, but after you stop, and starts to drive FW, then it will turn off the rear cam immediately.

    The camera system and park assist light would go off at 1mph I imagine. At 0mph I assume it would switch off as soon as you start to move - not tried though so can’t confirm

    Alright, will test it in a real-life environment for a week or two, until I decide at which speed cameras should go off.

    Some more questions:

    1. Is it possible to auto-unfold mirrors when car is unlocked? By default, mirrors unfold only when ignition is on, which I don't like. Most of other cars I had unfold mirrors right when car is unlocked, so you can easily see if car is locked (mirrors folded) or unlocked (mirrors unfolded) being away from the car.

    2. Did someone try to increase the sound of actuator on BiTDI and can share results? I found on German site that it can be done using VCDS, so would love to hear someone's experience.

    3. How can I auto-enable parking system (sensors + cameras) when vehicle drives at low speeds? If I put Reverse gear, and then drive forward, everything is fine - camera automatically switches from rear to front. But if I drive at high speed and then I need to park car at low speed (without reversing), parking sensors + front camera don't automatically start working when speed drops, which is annoying. In other words, I'd like the opposite function of cameras auto-off. Beside cameras getting turned off when vehicle reaches speed X, I'd like cameras (or at least damn front parking sensors) to auto-on when speed drops below X. Hope you get the idea.

    4. Does the car has "rain-closing" function like VW Passat? I mean, old Passat has option in menu which automatically closes all windows/sunroof when car sits in parking and rain is detected. Can't find such in A7.

In short, I want screen to switch off backup camera the same moment I move gear from R to any other position. The screen still displays view from rear camera even in D (until about 25-30 km/h speed is reached) now, and I hate it badly... The car comes with surround (360) cameras if that makes any difference.
    I know it's been a long time.. but did you get sorted?
