Default Surround View Camera Coding?

Hello,
Is it possible to code surround view camera onto a 2018 B9 A4 Premium + with Virtual Cockpit through OBDeleven? Does my car have the proper cameras?
Am I correct in believing that I can also code the lane keep assist, high beam assist, and street sign recognition?
Thanks!

For surround view, you would need 4 exterior cameras - one in the front underneath the Audi rings on the grille, one in the back (the backup camera), and two on the left and right sides of the car underneath the side view mirrors. I can't imagine Audi would include this hardware but leave the option disabled at the software level as they would lose money if people could just activate it after market.

I have read about people coding those other options so it may do you some good to search around the forum - you can find a wealth of information already posted and ready to sort through.

Not possible- you need the front camera located underneath the Audi emblem and the two cameras located underneath the side mirrors. Only equipped on cars with the package included.

Things that can be activated, like lane keep assist and automatic highbeans, use the camera in the windshield that is installed for other safety features included in your car. The cameras required for surround view serve no other purpose so they are only installed on cars with the feature from factory.

Got it, I knew there was a front camera but didn’t realize two separate types exist. Should I expect any warranty issues if doing the coding for the other stuff?

Probably not. You could have some problem, i suppose, but very unlikely. I am not aware of anyone that has had warranty problems from coding. At the most they would probably just reflash the car and overwrite your coding. Nevertheless there are no guarantees.
