I’ve used the 360 camera a few times to aid parking bay alignment and I’ve found it really easy to engage and the quality is superb.
Only bug bear for me is the drive modes which default to comfort setting, so each time I get in the car I have to remember to reselect Eco mode which annoys me slightly. In all other ways I’ve been really impressed with the drive and quality and tech that comes with my car

Glad you are pleased with your new T5 & all it’s tech, etc.
Yes, it is a bind that you cannot set your preferred Drive Mode in your driver profile, in my case I have my own preferred drive options set up in the “Individual Mode” which I can now rotate/select without looking down.

But, if I may be so bold as to ask why your auto choice would be Eco when you have spent a large sum of cash on buying such an excellent T5 performance engine with a lot of nice toys fitted?

I have been thinking some more about going up or down a circular ramp. I consider the 360° camera as
a tool for maneuvering, not for driving. Going up/down a ramp can be seen a being one long maneuver,
but I see it as driving. As such, and since I can't look at the camera and through the windscreen at the
same time, and driving while only looking at the camera is dangerous because of the limited view, I don't
find the 360° camera the right tool for this use.
