360 camera instant access
One of the things I miss from the V166 is the automatic cameras coming on when you are crawling into a tight spot. You can also manually turn on the 360 cameras while pressing and holding the star icon on the center console. I am just wondering if there is such a thing in the W166. Right now to access the 350 camera you need to do a double press on the star button and making sure the 360 camera is the first one on the list of favorites. A single press and hold like the V166 will be very nice but not sure if it is possible.

my 2016 3504m turns on if you hold the "car" button on the radio/nav/phone panel.

YEY! now if there is a way for this thing to automatically turn on while crawling when the sensors detects an object like on the V167 then I won't press the damn button every time. This is the bad thing about experiencing good tech. When you step backwards to an older tech you miss it too much.

I believe it can be made automatic via coding but not 100% sure.

I did not get to the bottom of it, but lately I park my GLE in the garage, who is pretty pack and I put a wheel stop, just inches from the stuff at the end of garage. My camera comes on on occasions, so I can see the front coming close to the stuff. All parktronic sensors go crazy at the time.

You can have it stay on at any speed via coding. Would be cool if you can make it come on automatically as well.
