Had rear camera on my GTi Edition 35 but no sensors.
I found that I was still looking behind me as I did not entirely trust what I could see through it
and the camera only gives a narrow view behind the car, so I was still looking behind.

So if correct what dealer says will stick with the park assist.

Blimey, the drama never ends does it?!  I've a good mind to just cancel altogether, save up for a year, and get one second hand where I know exactly what it will have! :grin:

I'd like to know if you have the camera but want to change the view to show the graphics from the sensors can you do that, i.e. can you switch between the two, or does having the camera effectively remove the parking sensors graphics leaving you with just the beep beep effect?

Anyone know?

This is getting silly now!  Its like they've only just build a GTI with all the options and then realised that some of them don't work in conjunction with others - ridiculous!  Especially something like this, as the likelihood is that if you've specced park assist you would also have added the rear cam.

On the plus side, an August delivery is a lot earlier than the chatter yesterday!!  :laugh:

You're bluffing.

Anyway, won't make any difference if you wait a year as we'll probably still be waiting for ours to arrive and placing an order then will put you on another year waiting list!  MY14 really does mean 2014 it seems  :cry:

Haha, well I did say "I've a good mind..." meaning not quite there but bloody tempted! But nah, it is a bit of a joke all of the information/misinformation we keep on getting fed.  Maybe MY14 really does mean that  :undecided:

The brand new price list doesn't seem to say that the camera can't be chosen with park assist, so it's out of date already!
