DSG -Can you engage Neutral and coast whilst reversing?

Try to get something like an old foam gym mat and fix that on the wall.......at least it would be something soft and pliable to gently and safely roll into

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread, particularly @serdar_18fr @stu_m and @Cupra306Form.

Turning off the manoeuvre braking and auto hold improved things immensely and stealing the dogs ball on a rope and hanging it from the ceiling so that it touches the rear screen with about 25mm to spare makes parking much easier. I will get some high density foam to stick to the rear wall so minimise any damage if (when) I get it wrong.
