Possible combinations of different assist systems for parking at the launch of the Audi A7.

The installation position of the surround view camera in the
exterior mirrors have been changed to extend their range.
They are located further outwards in the exterior mirrors of
the Audi A7 and no longer "look" vertically downwards, but
are tilted outwards. This allows the side detection area to be
enlarged, which allows the area around the vehicle to be
detected better.
With the third generation of the surround view cameras,
two more two dimensional vehicle views are available:

A three dimensional view of the vehicle is available to
customers for the first time with the third generation
surround view cameras.
The viewing angle of the vehicle is not specified by the
system, but can be freely chosen by the customer via the
touchscreen. It is still possible to choose between three
different preset viewing angles via three virtual buttons in
the row of buttons.

>> Simultaneous view of the front left and front right wheels.
-and>> Simultaneous view of the rear left and rear right wheels.

MIB2+ High with navigation system
The Audi A7 can be equipped with the MMI navigation or
MMI navigation plus system. Both cases involve MIB2+
High devices.
The MMI display J685 has the same dimensions for the
MMI navigation and MMI navigation plus versions. The
active display, however, does not. It is possible to tell the
two versions apart very easily by counting the number of
menu items on the home screen.

Touch display
Introduction
The 2019 A7 has two touch displays.
The upper display is for the MMI system; the lower display
is used, among other things, for operating the climate
control system.
The lower display is identical for all three MMI versions
available (MMI radio plus, MMI navigation and MMI navigation plus).

Connection to
J1060

Connection from
J794

The upper display can be installed in two different versions.
However, the only difference is the dimensions of the
display surface. The outer dimensions of the displays are
the same.
Vehicles equipped with MMI radio plus or MMI navigation
use the smaller display surface.

Control Module for Emergency Call Module and Communication Unit J949
Introduction

Antenna connection

Control Module for Emergency Call Module and Communication Unit J949 (referred to as the connectivity box) will be
introduced in the North American Region for the first time
in the 2019 A7.

The GSM, UMTS and LTE standards are supported. Two
external antennas are used for communication; they are
located in the bumper (rear right) and on the roof. The
antenna in the bumper (rear right) is usually used (Emergency Call Module Antenna R263). If this antenna’s reception is poor in an emergency call situation, the connectivity
box switches to the Roof Antenna R216.

It is a new development which replaces the mobile network
function of Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface J533
(gateway). The telephone module is "moved" from the
connected gateway to the connectivity box. The connectivity box assumes the tasks related to communicating with
the outside world. This affects, for example, the Audi
