Hi, I've just ordered a 2025 S3 (Sportback, if that makes any difference) with the 'Technology Pack Pro' which states... "Surround view cameras" I'm just wondering, can the front and back ones take the place of front and rear dashcams, ie is it always recording when driving and can you download the footage somehow? Can't find the information anywhere on the Audi website. 

If the answer is no, does anyone know why they don't offer this as a thing? 
Also if the answer is no does anybody know of a decent installer in the north wales area to get a front and rear dashcam fitted neat and tidy without wires showing etc?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi Mark No they do not have dash cams fitted from the factory. The surround parking assist ones don't record. I think it may have something to do with privacy laws in some countries or just cost? although a dash cam performs the same function. You can get official audi ones fitted by the dealership.
