Default PDR help please

First of all I am not very good at some of the new tech that my 2018 GS has.
When I purchased it last August I am sure that I could put the PDR on and the screen would show live what ever was ahead on the road.
But now I can't get to show live on the screen while driving.
It will record and I can play back.
Am I doing something wrong or am I mistaken that I could see live on the screen while I am driving.
Thanks

As a safety measure, you can only record and then playback while stopped. It won't allow you to view what is being recorded while it's recording.

Thanks, I must be a nut 'cause I thought for sure I did see it live while driving last year while I was driving.

I believe you were watching the cameras. Press the big camera icon and you can see the parking cameras.

The PDR won't let you see live.

^ But you can only see the 'parking cameras' if 5 MPH or less.
