First, it is optional. It isn't on all cars, part of the Plus pack I believe. And it does work nice, but can be annoying if you use maps via uConnect. Whenever you come to an intersection and put on your signal, you loose you view of the map.
I use the auto on camera when parking in my tight garage. I figured out a routine that I can safely get in close on the passenger side without danger of hitting. I pull in so my right mirror just misses the garage door opening by a couple inches. That turns on the beeping and camera automatically. Then as my mirror passes into the garage, I turn the wheels towards the right wall until the far end of the steering line on the display touches the wall. Then I slowly drive forward and keep that end of the line on the wall, which requires slowly straightening it out. Then when the left wheel line touches the far wall, I straighten the car out. Nice and repeatable, and stays about 4" from the side of the garage.
Well if every manufacture had the same options then there would be no need to look elsewhere. This makes you go to different manufactures which is the idea to get you to buy there product. Later RJD
Personally, I'd prefer in the HUD. I find that easier to see without pulling eyes off the road ahead. If you are already looking over at the mirror, the center display is a quick stop for the eyes and less eye movement/time than a full shoulder check or glance at the mirror. Every time I find something new in the HUD it's always been welcome
Did you read my post. Gave you the instruction how to get there Later RJD
See your set up little different as the vehicle icon is at the bottom of our screen. Later RJD
