Default back view camera

Anybody knows how to keep back camera on while driving forward.

Because of the very very wide angle, It can be very useful when switching lanes, or exiting into the service road.

The other alternative is to strain muscles in your neck

Those little wedge-shaped convex mirrors are great on the lower inboard corner of the drivers-side mirror. You can see damn near straight out without compromising the distant rearward views. They stick on with double-sided tape.

I agree the mirrors are better than the back Camera

I don't find the camera as useful as I thought because it does not show the far objects. It is for parking after all.

Thanks

Yeah, it's kind of a convex 'fish-eye' lens back there. More intended for avoidance of backing over Muffy rather than discerning if that is a ski rack or a light bar on that Dodge a half-mile back.

That's because you can see out the back/sides of a Lexus. On cars with limited visibility, full-time rear view cameras are invaluable.
