Default Parking Assist Function?

I have done a little research on-line and still remain uncertain as to whether the e-tron has a park assist function. I don't think this particular Audi does, which seems odd considering the size and weight of the vehicle. Many of the newly manufactured cars (electric/gas) appear to have this function. Surely this is something Audi overlooked...

I believe it's in all the models but was disabled out of the factory. I was surprised because most of the higher end Prestige models had it as standard so when doing initial research I think I saw it in the e-Tron press release that it was going to be a "premium" feature to be activated through "Function on Demand". Not sure where you reside but in the US it looks like FOD is never coming so will probably remain inaccessible. If FOD isn't coming to the US I don't know why Audi just doesn't activate all the hidden features

I'm not sure what you mean, or what Audi means, by "Park Assist Function".

It's where the car parallel parks automatically

Some of the Audi's have park assist or park assist plus available (strangely several of the smaller models have this function!). I understand the vehicle is in control of steering during the parking process. Again odd that such a heavy vehicle was overlooked.

hrc1079 - I think your explanation makes sense. I don't understand how Audi can advertise park assist (dealerships, press releases, vehicle reviews etc.) without actually providing the option. The same goes for Matrix headlights...!!!!

My 2019 etron was advertised with "Park Assist", but it was NOT the automatic parking. They simply meant you got front and back cameras that offered graphic "guide lines" and a 360 view. That's why I asked! You have to be really careful about how Audi defines its terms.

Easy enough to add if the required hardware is present: https://www.kufatec.com/en/assist-pa...-tron-ge-44920
