Not sure if anyone else has seen this, but you can see out of the rear view camera for 10 seconds while driving forward. I have the 8.4 infotainment and at the bottom you have an option for “controls”, click on that, then click on “back up camera” and it comes on for 10 seconds. Its pretty cool to see behind you while going forward. Now if we can only find the 007 oil slick button!

If you’re stopped (even in drive) it will stay on indefinitely as far as I can tell. Quite a nice feature actually.

Yeah, I stumbled on that feature a couple years ago. It's cool, but I haven't found a practical use for it, since I don't tow a trailer with my JL. Maybe the guys that tow find it useful.

With a Tazer you can set it to come on with your turn signal. The camera's wide angle let's you see in the blind spot.
With a Tazer, you can also double click the Mute button and it turns on the camera until you press the Mute button again.

Yup, and camera will still only stay on for 10 seconds. If you want the camera to stay on longer, you'd need a Tazer JL.
