Using the camera to assist with parking
It's great that it automatically comes on in reverse, but what about when you're pulling into a tight spot front-in and want the camera to see things like lip clearance? On BMW's you can push a camera button at any time low speeds to turn it on. Do we have a feature like that?

Turning on front camera
Yeah, I believe you can turn it on under System using the Command knob"...
I'm interested in using the camera for that purpose too but think I might try to find some cones to test with first since I don't want to curb my bumper or wheels and I don't yet feel comfortable relying on the camera since I'm still pretty new with this car.

That's the only way I've found...to press sys, scroll to camera, push down. I know it sounds trivial but when parking that takes a lot of time in the moment. Would be nice to press a button once or have it automatically come on at low speeds or something.

Up until now I was shifting into reverse and then back to drive quickly to engage the Birdseye ...
On my '14 e550 there was a "favorite" button that was in the area where the amg knobs are on the 63... I set this to 360 view

The E63 has a differently designed center console area than non AMGs. So we don't get the favorite button(s) [the amount of favorite buttons depends if your car has multicontour seats or not].
