Description of the problem	As many others have stated on this site and all over the internet, the back-up camera is ridiculously slow to come on. Most times, i can back out of my driveway, stop, and be going forward down the street before the back-up camera even comes on. At that point, i'm driving up to a block away with my back-up camera still on. While most of the time this is simply an annoying inconvenience, it is also a very real safety issue. One of the reasons i buy cars with back-up cameras is to make sure i'm able to see anything small (like a child, bike, etc.) behind the car while backing that my mirrors won't show. My lexus also has this camera (as did my prius that i traded for the passat) and it came on within one second of putting the car in reverse. The passat is routinely taking 6-8 seconds, and has taken as long as 15 seconds to turn on. I've noticed that it is not just the camera that is slow. Many of the other functions of the touch screen are also slow to react. The vw dealer i bought the car from says that vw is aware of the issue but it is simply a slow processor so there is nothing they can do about it.
