backup camera?
In my last car the backup camera came on anytime the car was put in reverse. In my new E, the nav/radio/etc system has to be on - no automatic reverse video. Is everyone's this way?

Mine comes on when you put it in reverse. It turns on the screen, but that also means the radio comes on when im backing out

If you turn your comand system off using the button on the dash (middle of the volume knob), the reverse camera will NOT come on when you shift into reverse.
If you turn your command system off by moving to SYSTEM, then moving to the bottom and turn off the system using your "control mouse", then shifting into reverse will automatically turn on the video (with no radio) and when you shift out of reverse, the display will again go off.
This is not documented anywhere....found by trial and error.

I haven't tried the command system settings but on my car if I turn off the display using the button in the center of the volume dial, the display still comes on when I engage reverse. Mine is a Canadian car so perhaps there is some difference to the US models.
