Rearview camera view available while driving

[Jake52]

I currently own a 2023 Mach E and would like to have the option of viewing the image from my rear view camera while driving forward, especially on freeways.
Tesla has had this available since their 2016 model, and Mercedes is also now capable of utilizing this function.
There are many aftermarket products available to attach to the rearview mirror, but I would enjoy utilizing my existing camera instead of adding an another camera and screen.
Additionally, for the last 2 years anyway, Tesla has the capability of RECORDING video from all of the vehicle's cameras and it would be nice if my Mach E was capable of doing so.

There is a way to enable it through ForScan. Search the forum.

I’m also interested in this, but haven’t been able to find the exact Forscan location.

Why?

Not sure about OP, but I like it for driving through parking lots.

I have noticed recently there is a camera icon on top of the monitor let's you do that. Don't you have that? Mine is 22, don't know what the version of sync is though.

Yes, but only until you reach 5mph... I want the camera's view available while driving anytime... especially on the freeway.

Evidently there is a federal law that prohibits this. Yes, Tesla does it, but I'll just say that Ford cares about complying with the law that Tesla evidently does.

Yes. The law is up to 10 MPH, but Ford chooses to limit it only 5 MPH.

I knew I couldn't be the only one who wanted this . I had a ProMaster van with this and its hands down the best rear view system that Ive seen . Zero blindspots .

Are you guys talking bout the picture appearing in the mirror or on the iPad screen ?
Like I stated in other post ...the ProMaster vans have the picture from rear cameras IN the mirror ...and it's AWESOME . No speed limitations .Always on .
PS I HAD to post this so Id get off of the "devils number " on the amount of posts that Ive done .

I believe some manufacturers, including Land Rover, offer an “electronic rear view mirror” where the thing that looks like a conventional rear view mirror in the cabin is actually a display screen, showing an image from a camera external to the vehicle.

I have this in my 22' Ram and I always leave it flipped off and use it as a conventional mirror, it hurts my eyes for some reason. I do like how in a Tesla when you hit the blinker, the side camera for that side pops up on the display. It's a nice double check and I do wish the Mach E did something similar.

We’re talking about on the SYNC display.

Ioniq 5 popped up a fender camera view on the corresponding sides of the display behind the steering wheel when you put on the turn signal. I liked that and the heads up display when I did a test drive.
Hyundai probably has better software in that car, plus the 800V architecture, made it a close call. Ultimately I liked the driving experience of the Mach E better.
