I think the question is what you intend to do with it.

It looks similar to my build which I think is a good setup. If, however, you were planning to do any towing then I don't see the tow package listed and parts are about $2k. If you are planning to do serious towing or frequently carry heavy loads in the back, then the air suspension is a very nice thing to have for the load leveling feature.

 

+1
Tow Package even for bike rack?

 

Rear View Camera? I ordered mine without it and had to add it aftermarket.

 

Don't need to tow, so OK there. I figure if I have front/back proximity sensors, don't need the camera. You guys loving your diesel? I had a q7 diesel, loved it, but looking for something a little more fun to drive.

 

Rear view camera will be mandatory by 2018. You may have a hard time reselling the car if you don't have it.

 

Loving our diesel here.Gas mileage and range are rock solid,Push Sport Mode button and it goes into beast mode! Absolutely no regrets...The backup camera is nice though even with the sensors.

 

I love mine.

Personally I've gone with the "learn the damn dimensions and pay attention" route and ignore the POS parking system. Amazingly I've yet to run into anything

If I listened to it I'd never be able to park anyway. They cram cars in tighter around here than airlines do seats. I find the sensors overly paranoid too. One of these days I'll get off my butt and disable the damn things.

 

So, will cars prior to that model year be grandfathered in? Can't see putting a back up camera on my '66 mustang

 

Funny, I find this to be one of the best parking systems I have used.

My wife and I have really enjoyed our CD; it's her daily driver. We have owned it a little over two years and just hit 14k miles. It's a very well rounded vehicle and we are very happy with the purchase.

Maybe try pushing the button to turn the sound off? I, too, have found it to be a bit "paranoid."

 

If it would remember that I did that across restarts I wouldn't have a complaint. It doesn't though so to have to reach up and turn it off every time I backup or pull in somewhere to park is obnoxious.

I looked it up this weekend and the fuse for ParkAssist is (of course) shared with some more important functions. So I can't just pull the fuse to disable the POS

 

Ah ok, I didn't realize it didn't permanently turn it off. Our CD is my wife's DD so I don't spend enough time in there to be annoyed by the beeping... haha
