2022 Audi e-tron GT Overhead View Sporadically Not Visible TSB

Owners of 2022 Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT vehicles may encounter an issue where the overhead camera view, part of the front and rear view camera system and two side cameras, does not display correctly. This problem, detailed in Audi Technical Service Bulletin 91 21 53 2064966/1, can manifest as a sporadically missing overhead image or a black box overlaid on the picture.

Symptoms of the Sporadic Overhead View Issue

If you own a 2022 Audi e-tron GT or RS e-tron GT, you might observe the following:

• The overhead image on the right side of the screen is sporadically not displayed correctly.
• A black box might be overlaid over the picture, obscuring the view.
• The overhead image typically corrects itself after approximately 15 seconds or if the "camera" button is pressed.
• The regular rear-view image on the left side of the display functions correctly.

No Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

Audi's workshop findings indicate that while the customer concern regarding the 2022 Audi RS e-tron GT overhead view can be reproduced, there are no relevant Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in the vehicle's system related to this specific issue. The underlying cause is identified as an incorrect adaptation or parameter setting within the vehicle's software.

Important Warnings for Owners

Before any service is performed, there are critical advisories for vehicles with high-voltage components, such as the Audi e-tron GT models:

• High-Voltage Battery Safety: To prevent potential damage to high-voltage components, the high-voltage cable must be removed before the SVM code is entered for the software update. This prevents unintended charging of the high-voltage battery during the process.
• Driver-Assist Settings Reset: The software update for the driver assistance system control module (J1121, address word 00A5) involves updating its adaptations and parameters. This means that your personalized driver-assist settings may revert to factory defaults after the update. Your service technician should inform you of this possibility before proceeding with the update.

Repair Procedure Summary

The resolution for the sporadic overhead view issue involves a software update to the driver assistance system control module, J1121. This update utilizes the Software Version Management (SVM) system.

1. Preparation: Technicians must first follow the instructions outlined in TSB 2011732, which covers general SVM operating procedures. For high-voltage vehicles, the high-voltage cable must be disconnected as a safety measure.
2. Software Update: The driver assistance system control module, identified by address word 00A5, is updated using the specific SVM action code A5A014. This process ensures the module receives the newest available software version with optimized adaptation and parameter settings.
