Reverse Camera in Off-road Mode

Michael H. said:

Interested in your thoughts as to why the reversing camera is not available in off-road mode.

A couple of times now I have had to disengage off-road mode so I could view the camera.

Do you think it’s a software issue that needs changing, or is there something I'm not considering?

There should be a setting to enable it in off-road mode, it defaults to off for those times off road where you a frequently going between drive/reverse and not needing to look behind you when doing it (such as rocking the vehicle)

My reversing camera operates in high/ low range and stays on until I tap either
the "exit" or "camera off" command boxes on the screen...

Yes, but have you engaged Off-road Mode?

Hey, I don't know if that is still an issue, but I found out that you can re-activate the camera in off road mode if you re-activate the PDC after turning on the off-road mode. Camera stays on, even if you switch off PDC again afterwards. (at least that is the situation before my expected software update)

Another way that works when you're in Offroad mode …

You can tap the 3 bars in the top right of an Offroad screen and you'll see the option to turn the camera on. It stays on till you turn it off.

Had the whole software upgrade yesterday. This rear view camera option within the off-road temperatures submenu is no longer an option for me. My head unit software was previously upgraded to 1946 and remains at that So it appears that the ECU update may have eliminated this option (although I didn’t check whether I had it before the update). have you had the latest overall software update?

I’m not exactly sure which update I’ve received. Note that the submenu only appears on the off-road screens when off-road mode is active.

That’s what I’ve got, but isn’t that just the head unit software. I’m not sure whether I’ve had my ECUs updated.

You'd have to speak with your service guy directly I imagine.
I'm certainly deficient in the ECU update dept!
