Cheers Jeni - everything's cool apart from old age having a whack at me.

I love ACC but its always something you have to be prepared to over ride and you can, which is lovely.

Its definitely improved on my 7.5 vs the 7 though. Much more intelligent now.

Nope, no park assist.

Its definitely there!

How odd! Do you have any options fitted? It's not there for me, I've checked, double-checked and triple-checked!

Nav pro is the only thing I have.

The option is right at the bottom... Make sure you scroll down...

The only other thing is mine is MY18... I think that some 7.5's were made before MY18. When did you get yours?

I think you may have hit the nail on the head with the model years but let's see what Excession_OCP says. My 7.5 gti was an early batch (pre-fog variety) and mine doesn't have this option either...

That could be the issue! Mine's a 17 plate 7.5 GTD - it does have the fogs but appears to be too early to have the parking sensor brake function. Damn the inexorable march of time and technological progress!  :grin:

Shame you can't flash it to add this. It's only a minor software feature using hardware that's been there for years

Is it possible that the car that stops has dsg and the one that doesn't is manual?

Mine is a DSG but doesn't have it. I'm off to the dealers later so will see what they say. Andy

In the car setttings, parking and manoeuvring, enable manoeuvre braking.

Mine's a Mk7.5, I can't remember if the 7 did it...

Had this happen a couple of times, reversing and it thought I was going to hit something and applied the brakes! Didn't realise this was a function...   :whistle:
