Default 2013 A7 Without Navigation/Back-Up Camera

I just got the 2013 A7 but they only had 2 in stock it was either this one or I had to spend $15,000 extra for the next one up. There is a button for Navi but does not have it installed is there a DVD I can find where I can install the Navigation? Also if I want to add rearview camera can I make it to where it would show up on the default screen, I do not want to get a 2nd screen in the car.

where are you located?? because as far as I know all US versions have rear view camera and navigation, I know in Mexico and in Europe some dont, you dont need to load anything, you either have it or not.

I'm located in Texas, when I press the Navi Button it says "navigation not available" and also does not have a rearview camera.

The OP must have a base Premium trim. The A6/A7's in the base models don't include Nav (or probably backup camera either).

Good to know, The website doesn't state that. Well but I am almost positive there is no way to load the nav if you don't have it already, regarding adding features that don't come with the car from factory, lot of members have done different stuff and while possible it is really expensive. Hopefully the rear view camera is not the case.

Damn, a 60k car and it doesn't come with the nav or backup camera.

Actually, the Audi USA website features and options section does show the nav as only being available on Premium Plus and Prestige trims. I've read on the forums that there are kits available to add 360 degree cameras to the A6/S6. (Not sure about the A7 though due to the different side mirrors). All it takes is money. Lots of money. As for adding nav, a nice Garmin PND can be had for $200 or so.

You are correct, I found it under model highlights, I was looking at the configurator and I couldn't find it.
