Rear camera if going forward?
I'm trying to figure out if there's any way to see the rear camera on when going forward. I have a 2025 lc500 convertible so I have the 360 cameras however when I pull into a tight one car garage it is helpful to see the rear camera to know if I'm in enough it's hard to tell on the overhead sometimes. If I put it in reverse I can see but I want to know if there was any way to get the rear camera on while in forward gear. I tried pushing buttons but didn't come up with anything. Thank you
Bulkier Lexus models offer the Panorama View with four (4) cameras, left, right, front and rear view. Reversing brings up the stitched all-around view automatically and pressing the single "view" button displays the entire surrounding when moving forward or stopped. Can be set to automatic to display everything when traveling under 5 MPH but that gets tiresome as it pops up all the time at stop lights and drive throughs. I did not see it offered on LC's however.

press on the camera icon near the shifter and you’ll get the camera. In the same screen, there’s a setting to set it on auto to come on when you’re 5MPH or less.
Those suggestions give me the 360 camera looking down but I want is specifically the rear view camera. Instead I get a front view camera and the 360. I guess there's no way of doing it unless I put it in reverse in which case I get the 360 plus the rear. Thanks
Why you worry what’s behind you when you’re driving forward?
just put in reverse to see if you’re in enough if you can’t tell from the overhead camera. Or just put some bright tape on the floor.

I did the hanging tennis ball for the wife, pull in until you hit the tennis ball (positioned at the drivers side of the windshield). Then you're in far enough.
Of course, doesn’t help if your wife backs up with the garage door still down
(I had forgot to turn on the autobrake/PKSB on the LX back on, so it was my fault).

A suggestion that works for me. If you don't have children or they are not an issue, I adjust my garage photo safety sensor to a height that catches the most rear protruding part of my cars. This way if I'm not in far enough then the garage door will not close. If you want to be child safe, you can add a second sensor back at the original sensor height also.
