Default I got mine done yesterday in St. Catharines...
I was in during the holidays but the service guys couldn't set up the SD card. This time they had it ready in advance and I was out in less than an hour. I know it is somewhat churlish of me, but I give Audi a failing grade on this. It took way too long and the only transparency came from here, not from the dealership or Audi.

Yep, it's all from this forum. Whatever PSS I was signed up for is pretty useless. I never got any notification from them that this fix is available.

Mine got updated to 1326 (TSB 2053028/1) today, along with recall repair for the passenger air bag bolt. I wish the front camera would come on automatically when pulling into a parking spot - only way to do it now is to briefly shifting into reverse and then forward again. Makes it easy to line up exactly within the lines specially in tighter spots.

I hit the camera button below the climate control when pulling in to a tight spot. Not optimum, but it works.

Got my 1316 last week. They also did an outstanding recall - evidently the right rear door child lock switch has the arrow going the wrong way. Now has stickers.

Default it works when you stab it just right...

And as long as you're going slow enough (really slow). And it requires lowering your eyes for a moment which is hardly ideal.

The current-generation BMW top/parking view is miles ahead of the current-generation A4/A5 Audi family in this regard.

Yep, I wish they at least let you program that multi function button on the steering wheel to control the parking camera. But of course it's not an option.

Default true of the "tech" in general...

I bought this car because BMW dropped the ball with the F32 xDrive - mechanically and interior-wise - but those Audi enthusiasts who go on about the tech in these cars are sadly mistaken.

Yep that's also an option, forgot to mention it. But it is safer to stop first to do it.
