Default Accessing 360 Camera views while driving/turning?

So Ford still thinks its dangerous to provide us the ability to look at camera views while in forward motion.
I'm not hear to argue about the cons to this.

I know there are two products out there (NavTV and Naviik) that provide previous F150 models some functionality that allowed the cameras to be viewed while in forward motion.
2021 F150 are now running SYNC4 and bigger screen/resolution. Does anyone have any information that would help relieve us of this camera security lockout while driving?
It would be very helpful a lot of us who might be towing. Having the ability to quickly eyeball our turns (to insure clearing of cars/objects/curbs) or engaging cameras and/or recording the video feed would be awesome.

It would be nice to have. In the Tesla, you can view the rear and side cameras while driving. This would be awesome to use while moving.

I could have sworn that the bed camera was viewable while driving to "monitor your load". Don't know if that extends to the other cameras, but it sounds like you guys say it isn't?

Also, it BETTER let me use the cameras up to a certain mph, I was planning on using the cameras to park cleaner.

You can toggle the cameras on as you creep into a driveway and adjust as needed. I love it!

Anyone been able to get this to work yet? I was driving down the road Saturday and wanted to look at some stuff in the bed of the truck to make sure it wasn't moving around and it wouldn't let me. It would be very helpful to be able to do this easily.

FORSCAN has NEVER been able to make the cameras work outside of what Ford originally programmed them for. In order to do what you want you would have to look at other options, like NAVIKS, but I don't think they have anything for the '21s yet.

The 2021 model year has a high mount camera to see inside the bed like the 250's have in recent years?
