Default Backup camera ?

Been away from Audi for a long time...thinking of coming back.
I've searched but have been unsuccessful in finding if the A6 has a backup camera, and at what package level.
Can someone give me a quick answer?

thanks,

t60west

It's a fantastic backup camera too. Best one I've seen.

I wonder if somebody could help me.

I have the rear camera with Park Assist.

Is there any way to use the camera but shut off the beeping from the park assist? The camera is useful pullling out of a garage or parking space but the beeping telling me there is a parked car next to me is a little dumb.

I know you can adjust both the tone and the volume of the various Park Assist warning beeps (front and rear, independently) in the MMI ... I can't recall, though, if you can shut down the sound, entirely.

Under Car -> Driver Assist -> Park Distance Control, you change everything, including volume.

This also shuts off the backup camera.

Also, you have to do this every time the car is put in reverse. It doesn't stay off.

I am sure that I have lost my mind. The 2012 A6 doesn't have a option called "Park Distance Control". It has a "Park Assist" which lets you turn the beeping down (still very loud) but not off.
