Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
View Mode Memorization
Any time the audio-navigation unit loses power (battery disconnected, navigation unit disconnected, etc.) the rearview camera defaults to the normal angle view. The rearview camera will also default to this angle if you had the top down angle selected when you turned the ignition switch to LOCK (0). If you change the rearview camera to the wide angle view, the camera will remember this view when you turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
