Just spoke with my salesperson and she said they just last week received the first vehicles with the camera installed. They were delayed at the port for a couple of weeks while they were installed. She said the first vehicles to receive the cameras would be the 2011 cars, then the 2012. Audi is to send out letters sequentialy to owners informing them that they can have their cameras installed. The dealers aren't supposed to install any cameras without the letter. She was hoping that I could have mine installed by December. Bought the A7 8/16/11.

I just asked my dealer about the camera (Canadian car, got it July 21st). The answer was "Rear camera control modules have not been announced yet there will be a circular going around to customers when we know."

My dealer told me last week that the camera chips were just now being released to dealers and that I should be able to get mine installed soon. I took delivery in mid July.

The back up camera module and/or camera retrofit should start now or very soon. I heard dealer already received parts for retrofit.

Does anyone know if the new cars being delivered now will have the chip installed? I'm expecting my A-7 in the beginning of December and wondered if it will be in the car.
