Back-up camera and soft close doors
 

On a 2008 Audi A8L, does the navigation system automatically have back-up camera with the technology package?
Do ALL Audi's have the soft close doors or was that an option? Can the driver toggle that feature on\off?

Bump to top.......anyone? Bueller, Bueller?

Thank you for ALL the reply's....the help was outstanding..*cough* :mad:

I bought the car and figured it out myself. A lot of folks viewed this thread, but not one response. Kinda like getting a flat in the pouring rain when everyone zipps by and splashes water but no one pulls over to help. Thanks a heap!

Wind your neck in pal.

:eek:

I'm not sure the soft close doors can get be disabled, but my buddy had fits when everyone instinctually slammed them shut on his 06 8L.

It did not have back up camera, but nav and Mmi
Good luck on the nice ride.

So what did you find? Can doors be disabled?

Hey, thanks for the reply........I appreciate this. Being a new Audi owner like we all were at one time, there's a mixture of enthusiasm and skepticism. With all the tech goodies on board and knowledge that these beauties can cost mucho $$ if something major goes kaput can be un-nerving.
I did a LOT of reading and watched plenty Youtube video's describing options and standard features on the A8. from what I can discern, either you ordered an A8 new with 'soft close doors' or not. My vehicle was not ordered with that option. I haven't seen anything in the owners or MMI manual showing an option the to cancel the soft close feature. The back-up camera was included in the 'Premium Package' which I have. Here's how my Audi was optioned from the factory according to the Audi Customer Experience Center.
