The front camera and/or the top view surround system use a different controller. I also wonder if they completed this mod but regardless, I'm 75% into my own retrofit of a top view system.

I am going to try to activate just the front and rear cameras first to see if I can post helpful instructions and procedure on this, as this will be a much easier and less expensive retrofit for many over doing the full top view 360. The front camera controller goes under passenger seat, under carpet. This system will require changing rear camera too as the stand alone rear camera is analog, while both the front/rear and topview systems use a digital rear camera. The standalone rear camera controller is in trunk passenger side in fuse area.

The full top view system will use cameras in each door mirror which I also already have. Cables for front and rear cameras are easily available, but the door camera cables are proving to be quite a complicated project.

These part numbers provided could have been mistyped, so do not buy them blindly without first asking dealer to print you parts diagram and check to make sure it is correct component. The 000-000-000 parts are not provided because these could vary depending on the style of grill on the car.
You buy and retrofit at your own risk. I assume no responsibility for errors or omissions for other's projects. If you proceed, good luck, and do your due diligence.

We just got our q7 Prem plus with vision package a d so it had only the back camera and after driving for a couple of days realize that we rather have the 360 view -
is it possible for the dealer service center to put in genuine front , side and mirror cameras? I do see the parts on this website I believe guessing the wiring would not be there and needs to be put in
will contact the service center in the morning to check but was wondering if anyone knew what cost I am looking at for parts plus labor - $1000 ? $2000+ ??
Thanks for any input

Parts are extremely expensive. Dealers won't assist with this kind of retrofit. Way too much involved and way too much undocumented coding to be done. Dealers don't make money on retrofits that don't have a VAG approved documented procedure.

I make some detective work and it is possible to install front camera with china "videoprocessor" outlet which combine rear and front somehow together.

With over 10 year experience with ali buys and products, i am defenitly not buing this big projects from there. Videoprocessors with lot of electronic etc. which are hard to change, will someday be done. Wires etc. are ok. But just to know it might be possible, somehow. There is couple of videos on youtube, which not showing, will front parking sensors work at same time.

I will search more. I have original rear camera, front and rear parking sensors installed in factory.
