My wife's MDX had a setting for her cameras to turn on when her speed drops below 5 mph. I've found this to be very helpful when pulling into parking spots. Does anyone know if there is a way for the F-150 360 system to activate like this? Maybe something in ForScan? Obviously it's not an issue when in reverse.

Thanks!

 

The cameras do turn on when the front parking sensors are engaged.

 

I know having them turn on automatically is better, but I just reach up and tap the button.

 

Oh, are they not by default? I'll have to play with my settings to see if I can get them to auto turn on.

 

mine turn on by just pressing the camera at low speed.

 

Just another software item that Ford can't be bothered with. I also turn mine on with the button.

 

Jeez, how smart (and simple) to automatically turn on when your speed drops below a certain threshold! Instead, your eyes have to come off the task to press the stupid button.

So many simple little things like this that are no brainers, that its surprising are not possible. Why do I need to manually select Eco mode every time I start the truck!

 

You do NOT need to press any button, because, as stated, they come on when the front sensors sense something, i.e. the approaching garage door column. Or, you can hit the button. They do not come on by speed, otherwise they would come on in traffic all the time.

 

Hmm, I have not noticed this with my truck when approaching bushes in a parking lot or a parking pole. I had to pull up to where I thought would only be a couple of inches away and it still did not come on automatically. Perhaps this is addressed in one of the latest OTA updates and I have not received it yet.

 

My front camera turns on with the front sensors although I wish they would turn on a bit sooner. Like others have stated, I use the button to access cameras when driving, very helpful when towing!

The rear camera has a delay feature you can turn on in settings that will keep in on under 8 mph after its activated if you did not know that already.
