Have cameras on dashboard at all times?

I'm trying to have the rear camera show on my dashboard at all times.

I'm trying to have one side of the dash be the map and the other side be the rear camera.

I guess I'm spoiled because I do this with my Tesla X and S.

Thanks!

Nah, it automatically deactivates during forward travel - when a driving distance or speed is exceeded.

Just thinking out loud, could you code the time and distance values to be ridiculously large, something like 500 miles and 10 hours? That way the camera would stay on?

I suspect not but maybe worth a look.

Gotcha.

I'll have to do a deeper look into setting the code to make it happen somehow

Yes!

I'll try this. But where would I go to even try to do this?

Bimmercode?

Thanks

Bimmercode does allow changing the speed and maybe the distance traveled, but I don't remember if there are limits.
