Write-up has been started. Posts were relocated to make the write-up easier to follow. Write-up starts on page 10 of this thread, Post #98. Please bare with me as this all gets sorted out and finalized. It's alot of information to reconstruct.

This mod was not sourced from one store via a kit. I got all the parts separately from various sources including dealer and used parts form ebay and other online overseas vendors. All Original Equipment Audi parts. I'll be re-reviewing this thread over next few days to see what other information is missing that I'll need to add.

Here is a link to the UK Kufatec site who sell the camera kit Surroundings camera - 4 Camera System - Audi A6 4G-39561_M

For that much, I could hire a very-small-person to jump out and personally direct me into/out of a parking space. :-)

Sell your car.

Order new car with the cams.


Possibly cheaper, and a heck of a lot easier.

LOL James. Just say it, you know you want to. Midgets!

But your reasoning don't compute. 1,868 euros x 1 parking incidents a day over the course of 1 year alone? That Midget would be more costly than the Audi's yearly service cost.

Top View is cheaper. Especially if I scratch my rims which would now cost me replacement rim and tire mounting, and no "cool factor". I'm a gearhead, i want gadgets. Yes I could trade my car in for another, but that's too easy. Not my style. I love improving my cars myself.

In terms of cost, Let's be realistic, we aint driving no Toyota. Sigh!

Fail, but to each their own.

A6 Surround Camera Retrofit

So it's about $2900 for the parts, plus shipping from Germany.

Installation labor probably about 4-8 hours @ $100 per hour.


Plus about $1000 for the Audi Dealership to align the cameras once they are installed.



Buy a new car. It will be cheaper.

Just make sure your car isn't red before you do this. I found out on Friday that that is the reason why my side cameras have a blue tint... Whatever software or hardware update they come up with to fix my issue almost certainly be available to previous years or retrofitted cars.

Thanks this is the kit I was thinking of buying but I can't find the post of the guy who installed it. Wanted to to my due diligence first before making the leap. No selling of my car here. I love upgrading my cars and love tinkering with them. Plus my cars are huge part of my life and I do not chose them carelessly. I'm not quick to discard that which can be adjusted. I don't give up easy and I love challenges. I'm always improving things, don't take that away from me man!

Not sure I understand. So you're saying a dealer update will mess with the aftermarket install?
If so no worries, Dealer will have minimal influence on my machine unless absolutley necessary. And anything dealer undoes I'll be prepared to redo. Besides, I have no warranty. It's mostly all me for repairs!
