For the future reference:

1. Audi parking system

Just the rear sensors and beeper alarm.

2. Audi parking system plus


Front and rear sensors. The distances are shown on the screen of the driver information system.

3. Audi parking system advanced


As above with a rear view camera and actual image shown on the screen of the driver information system.

"Audi is offering three different parking assistance systems for the Audi Q7. Already tried and tested in other model series are the parking system with acoustic signal to the rear – this is standard on the Audi Q7 in many markets – and the parking system plus, which additionally includes visual signals at the front and rear.

The Audi parking system advanced is new and incorporates a rear-view camera. The extremely light-sensitive camera is integrated, together with its control board, in the handle of the tailgate and covers a wide area behind the vehicle with its viewing angle of 130 degrees. The images captured appear – slightly distorted – on the MMI screen. It withstands acceleration of up to 100 g – 150 per cent more than is normally achieved when closing the tailgate.

When reversing the system shows the driver the way with the help of various lines and boxes. With parallel parking, for example, blue areas show how much space is required by the Audi Q7 – they clearly indicate whether the parking space is large enough. Blue lines assist when steering and countersteering. With angle parking, orange-coloured lines mark out the course. The camera image also shows the rear bumper and the extended tow hitch – in this way the performance SUV can be manoeuvred with precision onto the drawbar of a boat or horse trailer."
