Front Camera Question

[Riddick]

My 22' has the Towing Technology Group and came equipped with the 360 camera. I have a question directly relating to the front camera. Is there a way to tie the front camera to the front parking sensors? It would be nice for the camera to activate and display once the parking alarms are activated. I know other vehicles have this but am curious if our trucks have the capability.

It' a great idea, been discussed a few times. The conclusion has been it can't be done

John, thanks for the response. I read where a few members have posted they have a shortcut to the front view camera. If someone knows how to do this please share, I have the 8.4 screen. I do have vehicle cameras added to my shortcut widget list but when I select it I still have to select "surround view" followed by "front camera". If I could set it up so one touch takes me to the front view I can live with that. When I have to go through 2-3 screens to select it while parking its not worth the hassle and the front view camera is rather worthless to me.

I just use the button on the radio screen. In fact, I moved it into the bottom row

With AlfaOBD you can also turn on the front view with gridlines (ala Power Wagon) and get a shiny new Front Camera button.

Only works on the 2500's.

Thanks guys. I am going to have to see if my 8.4 screen has a button on the radio screen. My first thought is the 12" screen does but not so sure my 8.4 has this option.

Brutal, I will look into the front camera option you described above., this is exactly what I want.

Ok, there was indeed an option for surround view under my shortcuts menu. I have added it to my widgets on the home screen. Thanks for the assistance fellas!
