For Audi SQ8, BlackVue DR900X Plus is an excellent choice. The quality is excellent The build quality feels premium and should last for years.

Additionally, you should note: The latest generation offers significantly better quality and performance than previous models. Especially ideal for daily driving and long trips. Compatibility with Audi SQ8 is very good, and the installation is also straightforward.

Just saw this thread and tbh I think there's a bit of a mix-up here between dash cams and actual backup cameras... When I first started messing with my Audi's tech, I spent forever reading through various owner clubs to see what actually integrates with the MMI without throwing error codes. Community feedback saved me a ton of headache because some 'universal' kits are a total nightmare to wire into the SQ8's harness (at least thats what I found out the hard way). Before you pull the trigger on anything, are u looking for a dedicated dash cam that just happens to have a rear lens, or r u trying to upgrade the actual factory parking camera system for better visibility when reversing? Also, what's ur comfort level with the install? If u aren't into splicing wires, some options are gonna be way better for u than others...

For Audi SQ8 I would definitely pay attention to the compatibility, especially if it's about electronics.

I'm dealing with the exact same issue and it's been a total nightmare for about two months now. It's honestly a bit stressful trying to find something that won't mess with the factory warranty or the MMI system. @Reply #9 - good point! Like you said, there's a huge mix-up in this thread. People are recommending dash cams like the BlackVue DR900X Plus or the Thinkware U1000, but those aren't actual backup cameras. I've spent so much time on various forums and I'm still empty-handed... it's really tough to find a legit kit that integrates properly with the SQ8's specific harness without causing errors. Be careful with any universal kits tho, because the electronics on these cars are super sensitive and I've seen too many horror stories about people bricking their modules trying to force a fit.
