Default backup camera not turning off

I just starting seeing this strange issue today. The backup camera and parking sensors fail to turn off automatically after shifting from reverse to drive/park. The only way it will turn off is to press the parking button. Once it did turn off after moving 200 feet or so.

Very strange. Any ideas?

It should turn off after you start moving forward so far or fast.

They don't immediately turn off after shifting out of reverse. They're designed to stay on for a while, or until you move faster than a few mph, to allow you to pull your car forward a bit while still having the sensors.

Thanks for the replies. I thought for sure it was turning off immediately after I changed into gear before. I guess I was wrong!

Wait, shouldn't it turn off after putting the car in park though?

I think that the sensors stay active up to a speed 12-15 km / h can not remember exactly
Read in the handbook

This x2. Default value of 10 that it cuts out, I turned it up to 20 with VCDS. Won't disengage until you're moving forward at above parking speeds. I wish it would stay on up to 140, that would be pretty cool.

I have the Nav but no backup video. Is this something easy to add? Is there a lit. DIY
