MK7 and VCDS (VAG-COM) thread

[stuart.cameron]

OK one from me to the experts out there. If there's one thing that constantly annoys me, it's that when reverse is selected and the rear view camera comes on, the left hand side (with the topographical view of the car) is greyed out for about 5 seconds before fading to clear.

Is there anyway to stop the unit displaying the car graphic on a greyed out background permanently,  so it appears on a clear background at first switch on ?

This annoys me to. Just gets in the way!

What does the central electronics menu show? I'm interested in activating that but I don't know what it does, for example what options does it show. Also, what version of VCDS is needed and what cable?

Anyone tweaked anything else on their golf then?

Thanks
