Hello All,

Question this has probably been gone over but is surround camera 360 view worth the extra price or is standard camera enough with the sensors?
Would appreciate some thoughts!

YES it is, and I really enjoy the wheel view camera!

Will park assist actually turn the wheel and park the car itself or it wont do that?

I like the surround view. Very helpful if you have to park in tight spots.

Is it just me?

When you turn wheels, the images around front wheels are misaligned. I'll take a picture later.

Totally worth it. The cameras are way better than my 971 Panamera too.

My wife drives our Cayenne and has always had a poor sense of where the perimeters of a car are, especially with a hood, such as on the Cayenne, that seems to slope off view-wise to infinity. She can park my large S550 rather easily because she uses the hood ornament as a guide to where the front of the body of the car stops.
So, with the Cayenne, I did purchase the surround view for her and she loves it. The view is her "diamond" programmed button thus she just hits the diamond when it comes time to park the vehicle.
Interestingly, as she pulls into the garage, the surround view comes on automatically - I guess all the cameras realize she's pulling into the garage? Or does the car know it's home and automatically turn it on?

The cameras come on when the sensors in the bumper detect that there are objects near by. Probably as she drives near the garage they activate. The system works well so far.

here is pic. Look at front wheel.
