Totally. I found it hard to even find and distinguish the sections that only pertain to when you have specced only the Surround View but not the Remote Parking Assistant (which I don't have), and what's left was next to useless.
Ok, so this little video shows the swiveling and how I can turn it off. Notice the plate rotating at the bottom of the video. Problem is that turning it off makes the video look flat and without depth (or guide lines).
So, here is a video to show this. As you can see, it is lifted when I turn the car on, which of course is normal drive mode. So I turn to individual and the lift button goes white and car starts to lower, so I need to hit button again and re-save location. I do realize it is hard to see the color changes when viewing on a small screen like a phone.Yes, I always drive in individual mode, so the lift was saved while driving in individual mode.
As we all know, for some inexplicable reason, the car always defaults to "normal" mode when you turn it on, which makes no sense to me as I would prefer it to remain in the same mode it was in when the car was turned off. It is annoying (again, we are in a safe zone here as it is not a big deal of course) to have to adjust driving mode each and every time that you enter the car.
I stick by my assertion that there should be zero connection between memory lift and drive mode. Memory lift is, by its very nature, designed to allow drivers to remember specific bumps, ramps or other obstacles. These bumps, ramps or other obstacles that are saved in memory lift will always be there regardless of selected drive mode, so it makes no sense to have to save them again independently for each drive mode or have the memory lift lowered merely because you change drive mode. By contrast, temporary obstacles are not typically saved in memory lift. In short, if there is a bump and I save it to memory lift, my car should lift in every drive mode and despite changing drive modes.
When I approach my office in the mornings (driving in individual drive mode), the car correctly remembers the memory lift and lifts the car. The car remains lifted when I park and even when I turn the car off. At the end of the day when I return to the car, the car remains lifted. If I were to drive off in "normal" mode, the car would remain lifted. However, the minute I change to "individual" mode, the car lowers (you can see the symbol flashing), which means I need to hit lift again, at which point I get asked, again, whether I want to save the location.
So that looks like you have the Park Assist- surround view 3D option. It has more video software wizardry than the non-3d version but apparently doesn't have the cheaper option's wheel view display.
Super helpful (I don’t have my car yet…I’m waiting). You would hope that the issues you have laid out are on the software roadmap at Porsche. We all know they read this forum religiously - so can we please have a comment from Porsche HQ?Yes, I always drive in individual mode, so the lift was saved while driving in individual mode.

How does yours work? Could you upload a video? Mine may have it and I just don’t know how to sort through settings, d’oh.
I'm trying to upload one but it's hanging at 100% uploaded- I may have to take some stills instead.

Oh god is it ever. I drove it back from South California (where I bought it), and it’s mayhem. I don’t have the ability to wash at home and did not have time to set up a detailing (somehow I think automated car wash is a bad idea), so I’m really hoping I’m not damaging my paint for letting it sit so long.
I have ACC on my RS6 (2016) and never had this issue, but Audi use two radar sensors, one on each side of the car. This presumably prevents this ’tunnel vision’ effect, as one would always be ‘looking’ at a car in front.
Don’t get me started on car detailing lol
