Default Review mirror camera

I like the convertible. The review camera is on the roof panel that gets stowed when the top goes down. Does this mean that the rear-view mirror / monitor does not work with the top down? or even the back up camera in reverse?

Back up camera is above the license plate always will work.

Rear view camera cannot work when top is down. ( blind spot city with the Nacells)

The back up camera is separate, it will still work. I know this because 1LT doesn't have the camera mirror (on the coupe), but it does have a back up camera.

The blind spots are not too bad with the C8 Warp Nacells! People still don’t realize the C8 convertible has a lot more open space and rearward visibility than the coupe with the top down...
