Default 360 camera easier way to switch on

I use my 360 camera all the time when parking only thing is i have to swipe the sensus screen and touch the camera logo i moved the camera logo to a different position on the screen to make it easier to find

In my old volvo xc60 i had a FAV button which i could assign different functions to

Has anyone found an easier way to make camera switch on

ok when leaving bay as i usually select reverse but approaching parking bay would be good if it switched on itself

thanks

Unfortunately no easy way.. until volvo decides to give us an update with a fav button on the main sensus screen..

I usually do the same thing- toggle through reverse, just to activate the 360 cam

Default Button from parking sensors to camera

What I find annoying is that if you are already close to an object and the parking sensors have already kicked in, you have to try and click Close, then swipe left, and then hit the camera button. If your still moving slightly, the sensors will redisplay the sensor graphic again, so have to start again

There needs to be a button on the main parking sensors screen that takes you to the camera view so you can at least see what the sensor is picking up easily / quickly !!

Would be handy if Camera was a voice command i.e. Camera 360, Camera Front etc.

Or better still a button on the steering wheel!

Or just simply add a button when the sensors kick in to change view to camera instead of sensors. Actually when 360 is installed in the car it should always come up on this view when sensors kick in

thank you yes i totally agree with the posts above that talk about the sensor graphic cutting in. I have front and rear sensors as well as 360 camera so the sensor graphic kicks in a lot meaning i have to shut down graphic swipe the sensus screen to left and activate the camera button to see camera

what would be wrong with giving us an option to allow camera to switch on below a pre determined speed on Tesla you can select the reverse view to the bottom half on the screen switch it on all the time so acts as a rear view mirror

A better solution would be to superimpose the sensor info onto the 360 camera view rather than switch between them.
