Default 360 cameras

Does anyone know if it is possible to make the cameras work all the time? Seems like this should be a programming switch.

There actually is an aftermarket solution that will let you do it from Naviks.

Nope... Lawyers got involved in that one, and made Ford limit their function.

True but Naviks has a work around. FCA must also have better lawyers because you can turn on the back up or surround view cameras on the Rams while driving.

It's not about the lawyers, it's about the risk you are willing to accept, and I'd argue that FCA is out of their ever loving minds in accepting the liability of adding the distraction of cameras while in forward motion. Yeah, we'd all love to have the functionality, but the mfg is dumb to provide it.

I think the real question is. Does Dodge still offer a 360° view after the tailgate pops open while in motion..?
