Turn on Exterior Cameras in Drive?

[schalliol]

I did a search unsuccessfully, as I can't be the only one wondering this, but how do you turn on the 360/front camera in Drive? I don't know why it doesn't come on automatically when you are close proximity sensors in low-speed driving, but I've been stopping and dropping it into R in order to approach an object carefully from the front. It seems there must be a better way!

go to cameras in the menu and you can have front or rear or sides.

three dots on the bottom then the icon that looks like a camera in the submenu. The last button on the normal menu before the submenu button changes depending on what screen you manually activated last. I think it's dumb since there's enough room to put way more things down there.

You can hit the camera icon in the infotainment at any time. If it's not up front just hit the ... button.

Thank you! It seems like they should have that around the edge of the display always.

We clicked at the same time. Yes, I definitely need to get that camera on the screen there, as it's not on mine by default. Thanks!

It won't stay there by default. The UI reserves that second last icon to the right, as a last used "app" shortcut from that three dot sub menu. It will only remain there until you select another app from within that menu, camp mode or energy use as an example.

Also forgive the word salad description above.

Thanks. It seems like there should be an option to auto-enable the 360 cameras at low-speed when pros sensors go off. What's not as good but better than nothing would be to have a dedicated camera button. I hope they could add that! I don't see any reason why not to have it on when trying to park

I really wish we could have the 360 degree view in the left most driver view.

Usually when I park I want to see the 360 degree view and its annoying having to hit two buttons to have it come up.

At work I've started to back up a bit before pulling forwards just to give myself a bit more room (it's a long vehicle) when I park between two cars with forward in parking. The act of reversing brings up the 360 view.
