I forget to even check... Can we hit the steering wheel voice button and say something like "Camera On"?When I had a Polestar 2 rental, I really enjoyed their dedicated camera button.
Not sure, never tried as it was faster to just press the button on the screen.
My wife's car has a setting for the cameras to come on every time the vehicle speed drops below 5mph. At first, I thought this would be super annoying, but we actually got used to it very quickly and it's fantastic for parking. It's easy to exit the camera screen with one click if you don't want it there. I do wish the MME had this option.
For you guys and everyone else that was interested in how I added the direct camera button, I finally made a DIY thread: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/adding-a-direct-camera-switch.23728/#post-552393. This mod will also work on the Lightning with the Sync 4 display. The Lightning with the regular display has a direct button for the cameras.
I don’t know… That sounds kind of annoying to me during day to day driving. Cams flicking on when stopping at every light / sign. I’m all for automatic but I’d like my automatic to be a bit smarter than this somehow.
I thought the same and was sure I’d turn it off after trying it. But it’s actually quite nice.
I think I'd be the same way. It does sound like it could be a little annoying in a way, but I think I'd get used to it and grow to actually kinda like seeing the camera view of the car in front and the car in back when stopped at a light. It's a little like the setting that already exists now for extending the camera screen time following putting it in Drive from Reverse until the we reach 5 MPH (or so). That was annoying the first time I tried it but now I kinda like it.
Does no good for a home garage though, which is one of the primary needs. And various other parking.
Assuming it’s where you charge, that seems like the easiest place to auto activate the camera if the coders put a little thought into it.
That’s a good point. There are a number of refinements that could be made based upon home location. Another is making your home a “safe zone” where the walk away lock does not automatically engage. That’s also in the latest enhancement poll.
I agree. I think there’s a middle ground that would bring up the cams more quickly in parking situations (assuming there’s a curb or adjoining cars to detect) but not in regular traffic. 5-6 feet would do the trick. Giving a preferred distance setting, just like the collision warning, would probably work fine. But still give us the one-tap Home Screen access when needed.
It's OK for right hand drive carsI don't mind the size of the icons but for the love of god, please put them on the left side of the screen, closer to the driver. One would think that this is simple, common sense ergonomic design principles
Seriously though it should be adapted for left hand drive and right hand drive.
I know it does some, but doesnt do off, or heated seats or steering wheel. Fan speed does it just do up or down?
