When I get close to the back wall of my garage the camera does come on at the same time the beeping starts.

It seems to sometimes do it, sometimes not. Like, it happens without fail when i'm entering my garage, but it's hit and miss at a parking lot.

This worked on the test drive unit when I drove it. It may need to detect an object or wall like pulling into a garage so it doesn't activate at every intersection or in stop and go traffic.

when the sensors detect something close enough then the camera comes on - but that's not very helpful since you're already pretty close.

I just wish there were a way to assign a "shortcut" to the camera on the main screen in the big touch screen. A little tile right below the map.
I'd like to have an option to pop up the front/360 camera view when pressing the park assist button. I'll never use park assist but I'd use that all the time. Or maybe a long press on the park assist button would work.

I would not like the camera to come on when I'm in stop and go traffic.

Sometimes when parking, to get into a tight spot I have to reverse and then forward (Austin Powers Mode). It would be nice to return to forward camera in this situation.

I like the idea of pressing the "Park Assist" to turn the camera on, in addition to asking what parking mode to use...

I hope Ford provides this as a software update in the near future
