So........in the last couple months my car has taken an electronic crap.

1. Every single time I turn the car on it resets my Sirius radio presets within 2 min of starting
2. My Audi Side Assist no longer works at all
3. 20-30% of the time my backup camera doesn't engage when I put the car in reverse or it scrambles the picture

No recent work to the car except oil change. Warranty expires in September but I'd like some feedback from the community before I take it to the dealership in case anyone else has similar problems to help troubleshoot from the start.

Anybody have any insight to these problems? Thanks guys!

No one with any of these issues? Even individually?

Here's a recent thread about problems with the backup camera (http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/653360-Need-help-with-the-backup-camera-!Please). Mine acts up fairly regularly. I'm going to have the dealer check it out one of these days. Let us know what you find with your camera (and other) issues.

Battery voltage down? If it is still under warranty let dealer fix it .

my radio presets have been wiped out a couple of times now. I think once they came back on their own. No idea what the root cause was as I had no disconnected the battery or seen any codes. Perhaps it happened when the satellite radio subscription ended and then renewed?

I've always heard when these battery's begin getting old and low the low voltage causes strange occurrences such as these. I vote on the way out battery.
You could try disconnecting battery for 30 mins to reset everything. Best of luck.
