"One Touch" camera access?

[shark]

One feature I use all the time in my truck is to press the camera button when parking to see the birds-eye view, which really allows me to park perfectly within the space. On the Mach-E, unless I am missing something, requires two touches to get to the camera. It would be great if we could configure some "quick access" icons on the top of the screen that you can get to with a single touch, especially the camera which I use just about every time I park. Thoughts?

100% agree. Or at least a voice command

I have camera delay turned on. When parking, I shift to reverse momentarily to activate the backup cameras and they stay on while I park. I know it's not the same view you are talking about, but it works for me.

That’s the only complaint my wife has with the MME. She likes to confirm her position when she parks, to insure distance from curbs and idiot!

My truck has a physical camera button. On the Mach-E, it could be accomplished with a software update that adds a "soft button". Where is Ford's "suggestion box"?

Don’t know about suggestion box, but Ford monitors this forum. We can only hope. Yes, the camera button is great in my F-150, use it all the time.

My 2021 Toyota Sienna has a physical button on the dash for this, it's very handy.

Yeah I also mentioned this idea in March: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/wish-list-for-ota-changes-enhancements.4402/post-142858

It's a popular concept. ?

I'd like to double tap the park assist button (located near the gear dial) to quickly bring up the front and surround camera views.​

If you get close enough, either with the front or back, the camera view switch on....

Ok sure, but I'd like to know if I'm evenly in the lines before I get close enough to something to activate the cameras....

I would like to even go a step further and have the park assist button be configurable to allow camera view with a single tap and park assist with either a double tap or a long press, and vice/versa. I have never used park assist once so it's just a useless button for me right now.

They added a shortcut to the calm screen in the most recent OTA (pressing the volume knob). They should just make that an option. Choose what that shortcut does. The calm screen does nothing for me.

Interesting we are talking about camera's. Don't usually use them accept pulling into my garage. However yesterday parked and sun-visor up. Get out and realize too close to the "idiot danger" line for my liking. To lazy to remove visor, so put on birds eye & front camera and moved the car like that. Was able to see a car coming with front camera and stopped. It was a pretty cool feature. Of course the other car must have thought I was nuts!!
