Ya I was thinking this since I got the car. I hate whem people stop close to me at the light. In my BMW I just hit the PDC button and I can tell how close they are to me and I always wanted to be able to turn on the Back up camrea to see how close they are w/out going into reverse.

Question

So... hasn't anybody figured out, yet, where to put a switch to turn on the rear camera?

It would be great to do the (hopefully simple) hack while accomplishing... the NAV hack!

Thanks!

One quick solution is just put it on reverse while you are at stop without actually backing up

Not to bring this back from the dead or anything.... =T

But a weird thing happened to me the other day. I was backing up and then I pretty quickly put the car into drive(sort of like how you would do in a manual tranny) while still rolling back. As I started driving off, the rear view camera would not turn off. It also wouldn't allow me to exit the screen. None of the other functions worked. So I don't know if it was simply a one time glitch or not.

I had to turn my car off and on again for everything to reset back to normal. Hasn't done anything like it since.
