Default Speed warning in A3 2017 model

Hello,
I own an A3 2017 Sportsback edition. I got two questions -
1. The GPS maps indicates the allowed speed limits at a particular geo-location. If my car speed is above that allowed speed, I would like to have an audio alert. This is a regular feature in most of the cars like Renault etc. Could someone please help me to understand how can I set this in my car? If this means I need to upgrade, could you also specify what upgrade and version needs to be done?

2. I just have the rear sensors enabled as park assist. How can I have the animated graphical view of the car on the infotainment screen showing?

Any help/pointers would be highly appreciated. Look forward to the responses from the experts.

AFAIK you can set the speed warning manually but, I dont have GPS. If its not in the MMI under driver assistance than it's probably not a thing. As for the park assist, if you have the front and rear sensors, the little car is supposed to show up next to the camera. I believe this can be turned off in the MMI - if you open the driver assist and go into the settings it should be named visual assistance or something. I know it can be enabled in VCDS if you have it, and its not showing in the MMI.

Thank you for your response. I am pretty naive to this. How can I get the VCDS? Is it available commercially? Or do I need to visit the Audi service center/garage for this?

Ross-Tech: Home. It isn't available from Audi.
