Hi

I have noticed that when using the reverse parking sometimes the screen does not return to the media/radio screen quickly and sometimes it take a moment for the screen to change from media/radio to reverse screen it is me or could this also be a problem?

Or am i expecting 2 much?

My partner's car does exactly the same - my observations so far seem to be that the screen changeover from either function is directly related to vehicle movement. This is particularly noticeable after reversing if you engage drive with the DSG and wait a moment or two before driving off - the screen remains in reverse mode until the car is actually moving in a forward direction.

My guess is the reverse display relies on a sensor in the transmission or the ABS system to cut the system in or out depending on the direction of travel. Useful if you want to keep listening to the audio system before actually reversing but a P.I.T.A. if you want to listen but not move forward after reversing. Would be interested in what happens with your manual car if you reverse up a hill, leave the car in reverse gear while you allow the car to roll forward - this should confuse the electronics completely :eek: .

Could be a MY09 quirk if others are having the same experience.
