This is hopefully a daft question. What is "360 display" (as in "Park assist plus with parking system and 360 display")?

The paperwork for my (just delivered) car says I have 360 display, I definitely do have the parking system, but can't see anything that looks like a 360 display. I have seen YouTube videos and pictures of people having a sort of fake drone view of their car, views down the sides of their car as they park etc. all I have is a reversing camera.

My question is... Am I missing something I should have? Is it something that can be enabled by the dealer?

I have a Q4 e-tron estate 45.

(It's a lease car via work, so the chain of suppliers involved is pretty long, I'm not quite sure who to ask, or really what to ask them!? Any help much appreciated!)

This explains the system for the Q4 quite well. However, I don't have it so can't say what needs to be pressed, etc.

The 360 display is a graphic showing the proximity of objects as detected by the parking sensors.

It is different to the 360 camera view shown in the previous post.

Ohy goodness, "360 display" versus "360 camera" - yeah, that's not confusing!?

Either way, it looks like I have what I ordered. I'll miss that camera view though - cheaper cars have it, shame this doesn't, but I guess you can't have it all :-(

Thanks all for the help - really appreciate it :-)

It certainly is confusing. If you ordered the Tech Pack Pro option up to the end of October 2023, you were ordering the 360 surround cameras. (By the way, all those orders were significantly delayed and have only started to be delivered in the past few weeks.)

From November 2023, the Tech Pack Pro description changed to a 360 display. While these orders came through much quicker, owners were understandably disappointed when they realised this was only the 360 graphic driven by the parking sensors. Although they did get a rear view camera.

There were many complaints and in Spring 2024 the description was changed to a proximity display, which was a bit clearer.

From August 2024 you were once more able to order the 360 surround cameras as part of the TPP option pack.
