Wondering if trim levels < Prestige would work. I'm doubting it?
Don't think they would put a non-used camera into the Premium Plus level, which has no front camera functions.

It works on the Premium + level. I just used it on my B9 A4. The pre sense camera underneath the rearview mirror reads the traffic signs.

Ahh, had forgotten PreSense uses a camera as well.
Well now I'm pretty intrigued. I guess my main question now is how do you guys/gals integrate its function into your daily driving routine?
Looks like it's also available here at their US website (though it still comes from Germany).

Same "price" except in $ instead of Euros. That's an 18% savings! Still not sure it'll be $175-worth of fun.

I installed the dongle and I guess it is all working now as I took a quick drive and I have speed limit sign recognition working. Does it display any other traffic signs?

It seems to be a bit quirky just like some of the other B9 tech systems. For example today driving on a 4 lane road 2 lanes each direction I am on the inside lane for my direction and the system didn't recognize 2 speed limit signs along the outer edge of the road.
Overall it is a nice little feature for not a ton of money and will be helpful when driving on unfamiliar roads in the event I miss the street sign hopefully audi camera is paying attention.
Other neat thing that comes along with VZE is the ability to set speed warings in relation to the street signs. Have the choice of a warning at 3mph 5mph or 10mph over the limit and the display will flash in the hud and on the dash.
