Rear view camera - allow at all speeds but still have a timeout?

I tried coding the rear view camera to have no min and max speed limit... (FF) but it results in you having the camera stay on idrive as you engage D and drive away.

what I want:

on reverse, engage camera
at all speeds, stays there
when i switch away from R, turn off camera
if i turn it on manually w/ button, leave it on until i turn it off

How can I get that?

The cameras always stay on while you engage D even if you didn't code anything.....

Difference is as soon as you drive 15 meters or over 15mph it turns off...

So if you code the limit to 255 meters and 255mph then it will not turn off until reach one of those limits

Yeah... so in summary, we cannot have a rear view camera that you can enable/disable on a whim no matter what you do (driving around) YET have it auto-disable when you drive off the first time.

Bummer. I ended up reverting my coding there and just having it back. Even putting back a higher speed limit... the faster you go, the more likely you are to cover the distance that resets it off quicker...

I had this coded and was under assumption I can turn this on and off whenever I choose (say driving on a highway at highway speeds) seems like its not the case. Its pretty useless as I discovered because of it.

You could try coding the distance to 0 and see what happens... maybe it will say on regardless of distance
