Default Front camera view

I there a way to get a full view with the front camera. Presently I have the top half as a rear camera and the front takes the bottom space. It would be nice to have the front camera full screen.

No there is not. The split screen is the format.

I may be misunderstanding, but the top half of my screen is the front "helicopter" view, and the bottom split front view from right and left cameras. I don't have the rear camera showing unless in reverse.

Indeed. The top half is a composite view form the left and right cameras projecting the view looking down from the front middle of the hood. IOW if you were laying across your hood with your head in the front middle and was staring down, that's the view you get.





Additionally there are markings there showing how close you are to whatever is in front of you. So, for example, and this is how I often use it... You know when you're moving into a parking space and they have that parking "stone" or whatever it's called? Many cars just drive over it until their front tires contact it. That's because they have the clearance.

Interesting side note - I did this with my previous car - a 2013 Camaro - and when I returned and pulled backward it pulled the bumper underside out so far the two end popped out on each side. I had to deal with that for the next 2 years before I had to shell out like $3K to fix it before returning that lease - but I digress
The little bump there is the nose of your car. I carefully drive forward while watching the composite view until the red line lines up with the parking stone (or white line or whatever). You still have about an inch or two but in my mind it's close enough.

There's also this instructional video:
