Tried to get some help with an RVC on the Q5 forum, but not much response there, so thought I'd give this a try.

The car already has the 4 parking sensors, but was wondering if anyone knows if the cabling for the video is already in place to add a camera? I'd like to be able to stream video from the rear when backing up and in some Audi models, the wiring is already placed, but simply not hooked up to the end h/w component. Was hoping someone here could add some insight...TIA

I added a Audi RVC on a 2010 A6 recently - in my experience, the cabling and rear view camera control box needed to be added in addition to the camera. It wasn't a simple, "plug the camera into the MMI" that you're thinking.

But, the Q5 is a different car and much more recent.

Thanks and I did read your thread in the C6 section, but as you mentioned they are different beasts and I've also noticed that Audi does certain things for certain trim levels vs. others. In the case of the Q5, it's not the top of the line, but firmly in the middle/upper trim and has a ton of options already included.
