Night Vision Camera - Aftermarket
#1
![Default](https://www.audiworld.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hello All,
First time poster, first time Audi owner. 2012 A7 Prestige w/20" sport, B&O, side assist, love it...
I have a question for those in the know, and pardon if it has been asked, but can you have night vision added after market? I've seen some salvage cars that got rear-ended. Thought I might be able to take the camera off their hands. I've also seen the kit (from Audi) sold outright.
Where I live in Southern Arizona, there are a surprising number of people on the sides of the road at night, not exactly dressed to stand out (no judgments here). In fact, I just don't want to kill anyone...
While I assume it's possible (anything is possible given enough time and money), is it possible within reason/has this been done? I assume the software is there, just not activated.
Thanks for the help!
On a second note, anyone tried to program their garage door opener via the MMI console? Mine starts out fine then greys out and says system not available. I was still able to do it via pressing the keys, just strange to have the option in the menu.
Thanks!

It would take a lot of money and knowledge to pull it off. Buying another car that has the feature might be a less expensive alternative.

Thanks for the reply.
It's strange what you don't miss if you don't know it exists. I live in Tucson and in many parts in the desert, it's DARK. I've had whole families by the side of the road in completely non-reflective clothes and worry that something could happen. The xenon headlights help quite a bit however.
Thanks again,
Dave
