Does anyone know if it's possible to enable the "Area View" feature as shown in this video?

Not possible without modification which are easy possible in your car

Do you know what modification(s) are required? I even tried reaching out to Kufatec and their answer was basically "we don't know, bring your car to us in Germany so we can have a look".

Thank you for your request.

As for now, we do not have any ready to ship solution for your request.

Please check if you are able to bring us this car for some days to our HQ in 23795 Bad Segeberg, Germany.
If yes, then we'll check further details with you.

Kind regards,

KUFATEC Support Team

Update ACC, zFAS and some other things. Most of the stuff isn't available in public for dealership. Iam also not sure if it will need a MIB3 Main Unit

My A7 already has zFAS Var C because it already has the 360 cameras. ACC (13 - Auto Dist. Reg J428) is currently running software version 0332.

Supposedly you don't need MIB3 for this, but that info comes from the YouTube comments in the video I originally linked, so who knows how reliable that info is...

this has nothing to do with the MIB3 system. The MIB3 is the computer behind the MMI only. This is strictly tied to the gateway module. So either needs a healthy software update or a module swap or VC swap, or altogether.

My gateway:

But it need cluster for MIB3 System, which won't work in MH2p cars. So you will need to change to MIB3 System to get cluster working with full functionality. As the actual cluster in your car is EOL and no updates will bring more feature which aren't available in your car during order phase

OK, that's the missing piece of info, thank you!

Gutting and replacing the entire MMI infrastructure in my car is not something I have the money for, so I guess the idea dies here.
