I dragged the camera icon to lower icon bar, but you still have to fumble around and click the front view.

Is there a way to have the front camera come on when it senses something infront of you at really low speeds? Front parking mode?

We have 2 Infiniti's, Q70L and QX80. when you pull in the garage or start pulling into parking space, the front camera automatically comes on, with same distance bars your get when you put the RAM in reverse.

Its so nice for parking, especially in the bigger SUV truck. Dont realize what good feature it is until its gone.

thanks

The only way is to do what you are doing BUT note there are two camera apps. One for backup/hitching and one for surround camera. That one will show the surround and front/rear camera depending on what gear you are in. I have that as my left most icon and it's easy to tap pulling in and shows both 360 and front view.

This is how the 12" works. You didn't specify what you have so your results may vary.

Just replace the rear view camera shortcut at the bottom of the screen with the surround view camera shortcut. That's what I did.

Thanks guys,

Got 12 inch, and I stated I put the 360 Degree camera icon on main icon bar in first post:

"dragged the camera icon to lower icon bar "


I was just wondering if you could have the distance lines on the front camera like the rear and turns on automatically when you get so close to anything.

I dont know how Infiniti does it, but their setup turns the front camera on whenever you get so close to anything in front or side, with the distance lines. Didnt know if that was possible with the uconnects and making customization's.

There are no distance lines on the front camera, but you should see the sensors lit up on your console and hear the beep if you are getting too close to anything up front

I don't think you can do the same thing you're Infiniti does. That sounds really neat though and I'd love the feature.

You can’t do that from factory but you can with Tazer DT. Look into it. I have it set up that when I pull up to something and the front sensors engage, The front camera engages automatically. You can also activate auto folding mirrors and so many other neat things with Tazer DT. One of the best things I did to the truck.
