Default Full screen panoramic camera?

Is it possible to view the rear or the panaromic camera in full screen mode instead of having the map using 1/3 of the screen?

Check out this video. Very comprehensive about the extent of the Panoramic View Monitor. Check out Minute 1:33.
There is no way to do a full screen 360 view, but you can do a full screen rear view.
There are other "How to Videos" here:

Thank you for sharing the video. I wish Lexus can update their software to provide full screen panoramic view

How do I get the full screen rear view?

Lexus finally gave us full screen nav for the '16 model year after we've been complaining since '13. Lexus doesn't update software to add features. They'd rather sell you a new model year with the features you wanted.

I don't think it is in all models. I cannot do on mine, have the 12.3 with navi. I think you need the surround cameras which my rx does not

Thanks for your reply. I'm so frustrated. I have the 12.3 inch screen and the car is fully loaded so dont get it. The video they have posted in their "How tos" part of the website did have a video where they actually showed the full screen when car was reversing but don't know if that was just a prototype or something and it doesn't exist in reality or what...

check out minute 2:03. I don't have that button next to the heated steering wheel. I mean the button is there but no icon and non-functional

That's horrible. I was afraid of that! Yes I agree it's so stupid not to have the full screen utilized when reversing the car. But then why does the video on their website show the full screen camera when reversing:

Check out the BCM with RCTA video and look at 1:08. It has it... I just don't understand!!!

Samour - only RX's fitted with the optional Panoramic View Monitor system have the "View" button to the lower left of the steering wheel, ttbomk.

fular - I'm beginning to believe that it's not possible to view the backup camera images in "Full Screen". Maybe one can with the 8" display but apparently not with the 12.3" display. For those of us who have the 12.3" display we get the "Main Display" and the "Side Display" (with the 5 shortcut icons on the far right side). So, in effect, the folks with 12.3" displays view an 8" backup image on the left side of the screen plus the "Side Display" on the right side of the screen. If anyone knows how to dismiss the "Side Display", then we would have a "Full Screen" backup image. However, in the Navigation manual it states that "Full Screen" is available only for the initial Lexus splash screen, the Menu screen and the Map screen (if I understand that correctly).

I viewed the video that you cited which does clearly show the backup image in "Full Screen". Perhaps the "Side Display" feature was added after the video was made.
