It is. The one in the same position as the E70 is really small and is designed to have the CD changer in there and nothing else. When there's no CD changer, there's a small amount of storage space.

The pictures don't do justice to the clarity of the images and what you see includes a lot of drizzly rain both on the lenses and in the air. The rear camera is miles better in poor lighting compared to the E70. I wanted it to be a bit darker outside before taking pictures, but I will later and post them here.

She is a beauty. I had been in a TT V8 and it was amazing ride.

There's a button just to the rear and right of the gear selector. The idea is that you use it when pulling out of a junction/ entrance/ driveway where you have limited lateral vision from the driving seat.

As these camers are a good few feet in front of where your eyes are, it effectively allows you to see around corners, it's a really neat option. You can see the cameras on the front fenders in the photos above. They just look like another PDC sensor.
