Emailed my dealer about this, turns out he's on holiday.

Another sales person emailed me back and said it may delay the build by a couple of weeks.

So I added it :)

I added it as well, if it adds a few weeks I'm not too worried, it's going to be a long wait anyway. Good to know it's available again, great post, thanks.

Cheers

The camera is a waste of time and a waste of money. You can easily look in your mirrors or look behind you when you reverse.
Electric windows? How lazy can you get what's up with the good old fashioned wind up mechanism.
Air conditioning? For gods sake, just open the windows.
Keyless entry, surely your having a laugh? In fact remote central locking is for folk with limp wrists who can't even open the doors with keys!! Whats up with individual door locking when only the drivers door opens with the key and you have to manually open all the other doors from the inside?
And don't get me started on city braking, cruise control, ABS etc.

This progression will never catch on!!

The camera can be retrofitted, there's a mention of a UK company in another thread. Only problem is it costs almost £700 to fit.

I've got one on the pool car I've got until my gti arrives. It's the biggest pile of doodah. It's more off putting than assisting. It's not like you're parking a tank! Especially as the golf has a flat back. You'd be better off spending the money on a few refresher driving lessons or even better 165 quid on beer!

I can't see it on the options on the website though, but was thinking of getting a mk7 and have the camera in my mk6 and use it all the time so very interested if it's coming back in.
