For those with bad necks (like me) and being sandwiched between 2 large SUVs in a parking space, it could be an issue.

My car was a special order. And, as stated, I did not know the chip was an issue when I ordered, nor when I received, the car. I am disappointed, and I would have wished someone would have forewarned me, but it would not have changed my mind about ordering the car. I trust that Audi will install the chip as soon as it is available. Meanwhile, I have to turn around when in reverse, like we all had to do for many years. The view is limited, but not awful. Obviously, I cannot see what is on the ground behind the vehicle.
I will post pics of the Oolong Gray soon.

re: 2012 S4 - no rear view camera
it was a pretty common error for dealers to order the cars like this since the camera was previously included with the navigation pkg in MY 2010 and 2011.

That's pretty rude- and awful customer service!

I was at a local Toronto dealer today and they had a new A6 that showed a $250 Rear Camera Credit on the window sticker. The camera was installed above the rear plate frame, so I assume this is a chip credit.

Same issue as well. Picked up my A7 in early July. Was told at that time about the chip issue and that it would be a couple of months. I guess in the big scheme of things not that big of a deal.
I got a call from the dealership yesterday. I thought it was to install the camera chip, but they said audi contacted them because the wrong steering wheel was on my car
I was supposed to have the upgraded one with the paddle shifters. I thought it was great that they called to let me know. Pretty happy with that customer service (so far) all the way around.
I would like to see the oolong grey as well. That was originally my choice. I went to dealership in May and they had the moonlight blue metallic. I instantly fell in love with the color. Looks very good in person (the audi website does not do it justice) It was already sold. I preorder the only other one they had coming in this year.

I love this car so much I would keep it even if it didn't have rearview mirrors, forget about the rearview camera! The dealer has been very gracious about the delay and I have no doubt the chip will be installed as soon as it is available. I am sure the Japanese people are still having much more trouble from the tsunami than I am.
