[ASKED] Pre-Record and Quick Record Button for PDR
While the PDR is cool for the track, it would be nice if it had a street mode as well. It could be set to record constantly, and add a recording 'hotkey' to the infotainment home screen. If anything noteworthy happens on the streets, pushing the record button would instantly enter record mode, and with a configurable pre-record (ex: 30-60 seconds) would capture what happened prior to the button push.
Can this feature we added via software update? It seems very simple and straightforward to provide owners.

I agree;
With the advancement of on board cameras and recording. It would be extremely nice to have a quick record. Although I think the pre record would be great, it might not be available with the software thats available.

If the original software were written correctly, this should be a simple change. On the other hand, it is such a common sense feature that it is discouraging that it isn't already included. It appears to be another case of let's give the customer something that looks cool without spending a lot of time or money researching what features would be needed and/or desirable. The C6 nav was another example of this thinking.

The trick with pre-record is you just tell it to record constantly, but store it in a loop and only save the data if you hit the button. I would think it should be doable with an update.

With a pre-record button it would only save what you tagged, so it wouldn't fill up. Having a xx day loop like a security cam would be one option as well, but would probably only make sense if the cam recorded while parked to catch any incidents while you were away. I wonder how much power that would use and if it's feasible.

Bumping this because it's one of the top things I wish the PDR could do!
The other thing I would like to see is an increase in the max speed where you can access the front cameras, I hate when I'm rolling up to my garage and can't access them...

Yea I'm surprised this hasn't gotten much attention from others... For those of us that daily drive it's a very useful feature for day to day use. Also should be easy for GM to implement via software update.
