Top view camera select and making it default

And it doesn't seem a fix is imminent ... our SQ5 -- delivered beginning of February with December build date -- is also affected, with the top view camera defaulting to Graphic each time. If they had a solution, you'd think current/recent builds would incorporate it. But no.

I have a B9 S4 built in Nov 17, we have been discussing this in that forum as well, but this thread seems to at least still be moving.
While waiting for Audi to FINALLY release this damned MMI update that has been unofficially rumored to be coming out (for 7 months now...), has anyone tried the following:
UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A SELECT START
I've heard this will give you 30 free camera view backups before reverting to useless graphic mode again

Machz above got it, but that was intended as a bit of video game humor. Considering how computer-centric our cars are becoming, and how many people are trying different button sequences to get a different result, it seemed apt. Google "Konami Code" and see the top entry if still curious what this is referring to. Maybe there is a socket someplace in the car to plug in one of those old nintendo controllers...

Being skeptical by nature, I am the last guy to believe a story or misinformation (intentional or not) from a Salesperson (or anyone else) but to me, this one could explain why this is happening and why Audi has not "fixed" this.
Yesterday my Audi Salesperson told me that the reason that the camera defaults to the rear view is that this is a new US regulatory requirement and he has seen the exact same thing with other brands that he sells. (Volvo)
In doing just some quick research, I ran across this 2014 article from USA Today in which they report that the NHTSA will be phasing in a requirement for a rear view camera beginning in 2016 with 100% compliance required by May 1, 2018.
Furthermore, they state:
"Under the rule, all vehicle would have to give the driver a view 10-foot by 20-foot zone directly behind the vehicle."
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money...meras/7114531/
Maybe this is why it is defaulting to the rear view.
To me, this explanation fits the facts that this is happening in the software and that 7 months later, Audi has not fixed it, and makes me a lot less unhappy than thinking that my car has a bug that Audi is ignoring. Hope that it does the same for you.
If this is in fact the explanation, it's too bad that there wasn't some communication from Audi about this.....people are a lot more understanding when there is communication to help them understand.
Maybe some of you with inside Audi connections can confirm this?

Sorry, I am probably missing something here but many users on this thread report that the problem is that it automatically defaults to graphic mode when putting in reverse, regardless of which default option they selected.
My post above seems like it might be a possible explanation.
