Default 2011 A8L backup camera install

Hey guys I'm in the process of getting a 11 A8L. I found 2 car that I like a lot but I have to choose. Well my question is, is possible to install a backup camera??? And how much would that cost to do? I'm weighing out the cost of things

The backup camera is a standard feature, every D4 A8 comes with it from the factory.

You would think its all standard. My 2011 BMW 7 series did NOT have one! $100k car and no cam.

Huh. I had to look it up, on the BMW's, it's a $1200 option and includes side cameras. Only on the 760Li was it standard.

Oh ok, so what about the entertainment package?

It would appear that I was wrong. The backup sensors are standard, the camera comes with the convenience package. I had to pull out my window sticker for that one. The entertainment system package comes with monitors mounted to the backs of the front seats, a DVD changer, and controls and inputs for the system on the center armrest.

I'm saying if the entertainment package for the back seat tvs not an option is there a possibility of getting it installed and the cost on that.

All of the questions you are asking could quickly be found on Google. I can tell you to install the entertainment package in a car that doesn't come with it, you will need the armrest with the controls, the DVD changer, the seats will need to be swapped out for ones with monitors since I doubt the wiring and mounting can be acquired and installed separately. This would be very expensive, likely in the neighborhood of 5000-6000.

Look up what options are available, and figure out which ones are must haves. Find a car that has them all, it is always cheaper than retrofitting.
