Lightbulb Rear camera button

Does anyone sell or has anyone added a dash button to activate the rear camera while driving. When I am pulling my trailer, it would be nice to be able to view the load to make sure it is still secure. I can't see the trailer contents with the mirrors unless something very tall has been loaded. A camera activation button would be a great addition.
Thanks

How badly do you want it? 🤔

Sorry for double post. I'll say, if you're interested in it at that price, talk to forum sponsor camera source. I just did some work with them testing out the new Naviks module they're using to add front (and soon side) cameras to your vehicle and their kit will also contain this VIM module and allow rear (and any) cameras to be on in motion as well but for like $600 ish I think. So while the naviks video in motion module is expensive alone, if you think you want to ever have a front camera as well, I recommend going with camera source and kill two birds with one stone and save on buying the naviks VIM alone.

Nope, don't want to add more cameras or features. Just want to turn on the rear viewing, existing camera.

Ok, well, the link in my first post does just that but it is a little pricey. At least shows that it's doable though so there might be an easier/cheaper way, too
