Reverse Camera without Radio/COmmand Center on?

Is there a way to get the reverse camera to operate without the "command center" on?

A bit annoying to have to turn that on when reversing...

Am I missing something?

Have you tried not turning it off, but instead just muting it and going to the clock in "Settings" so it's not too distracting. I believe there is an option for "Display Off" in that same menu area, but I haven't tested to see if the camera still works in that scenario. Is there a particular reason to turn it completely off?

Can try that - its just that all other cars I have owned, if you are reversing - regardless of what is on/off in the car - you want to see what is behind you...

Not sure I understand the options in the system menu that says "rear camera on in reverse"

Why and when else would you want it on or off?

I have always gotten into the habit of turning everything off in the car when I turn the car off so on start up there is less of a load on everything.

Maybe it is just me...

I remember people did that in the old days. No need to worry about load on startup anymore though.

I'm not sure about that "rear camera" option either. I've only had mine a little over a week so I'm still exploring all the options.

OK I will try it out - and I apologize, the plan was to sit down over a nice glass of Bourbon and read all of my manuals etc. and see what is what - but with kids/work and schedules...you know how that go's.
