Turn on forward cameras at low speed automatically?

[Flak]

Is there anyway to automatically turn on the front/360 cameras when say 5 mph or below without needing to trigger the proximity alarm? It's super handy when parking but annoying to have to hit the button every time.

I'd love for this to be an option. I use it for parking too, but it takes so long to get to the right screen that it's almost not worth it. I hit the button by the drive mode wheel, then I have to wait for the camera to fully "load", then select the front camera. By that time I could have had a spotter get out and guide me in! In general the slow speed of any graphics display in the truck is a bit annoying.

In the upper left corner of the large middle screen is a small camera looking icon. Just push it as you start coming into any parking spot. Works great. The icon is not there if the chosen view is thru your phone. You have to go to a radio view 1st so sometimes you have to push 2 buttons.
But I agree that it would be much handier if you could have the option for automatic camera view at a certain speed. I use the front camera all the time. Maybe with AI someday we only have think what we want and poof, there it is!

is there a speakable command to change center display app? can you hold the voice command button and say "hey ford, camera"?

That’s a good question. I’m not sure. I believe in rock crawl they come on. I haven’t seen anything in the commands, but the owner’s manual is 650 pages.

My garage space is very tight and when the alarm goes on solid my front camera turns on automatically. I haven't made any setting changes that could have made it do this so it must be set this way from the factory. It would be nice if the distance could be extended though.

Yea that's basically my criticism. It turns on basically right as you're getting close to hitting something. Pulling into the garage it's fine because I'm already lined up and expecting it. Out and about I'd rather it turned on just parking in general since I try not to be close enough for it to go off in normal circumstances.

I never even paid attention to that little camera icon. Thanks!
