Front camera activation
2016 front camera...is there a setting so it comes on automatically when I'm moving at just 2-3-4 mph? It's annoying having to press it's icon on the screen when I'm paying attention to parking. Thanks -

Nope. Only if you were in reverse first. I thought the same thing until everyone pointed out that if it did that it would be coming on every time you approached a light or a stop sign. I find that I don't even use it or look at anymore. Not really needed as far as I'm concerned.

I agree, that would be a nice feature. The camera icon on the screen is wonky because with an M7 you don't typically creep into a parking space like you can with an A8, so half the time I hit the button its going too fast and the annoying error message blocks the screen. It would be nice to automatically activate.

It's marginally quicker to get to it by using reverse whenever you can. I prefer to back in and that is one of the reasons, camera pops right up without having to do anything I wouldn't normally be doing.
That said, I've rearranged the icons on my screen so the things I use are one click away. Camera and PDR are things I use a lot, they are on the top row.
Minor inconvenience to get to them and well worth the extra time.
