Park Assist w Surround View
Just checking if anyone has figured out a way to manually turn on the Surround View. Seems like it doesnt always trigger on automatically and want to have it so I dont hit those damn concrete stops.
Only way to trigger if sensor doesnt is to put it in reverse. Hoping someone has figured out how to turn it on....

I like the feature especially front facing camera when put shifter in D.
I've had the car for a week so I haven't found out how to turn it on manually, but I'd love to have that option.

I think he saying that he does have it come on, but sometimes it comes on to late. He wants it to be a button you press to active it a head of time.

On my Cayenne I can link it to the auxiliary (Diamond) button on the steering wheel. I would assume its the same with the Panamera.
Can post some pics of how to do that if you like.

Maybe its because mine is a 16?
Perhaps your dealer could update/code it in for you.
Also didn't know I could select the Sports Exhaust function as well.

PJ, Were you able to update the PCM Software for this? I have a 2014 Panamera and I also do not have the option to program the multi function key to Park Assist, but I would love this as I go to park and the camera hardly ever turns on automatically (only leaving the space or in revers).
Just curious if there is an update to any computer systems

No, asked the Tech Mgr if an update was available, he checked and said no. Not really sure I believe him as all it would be is a software update. Let me know if you have any luck on your side.

There has to be a way. In my last car, I programmed it to switch on at 5mph. Before I figure it out, I have been briefly switch to reverse and switch back to drive to kick start the four cameras.

Yes, every morning, pulling into my parking garage I have no way of seeing anything either. The sensors "beep" letting me know I am close to something, but it would be super-helpful to press a button (easily) and have the cameras up instead of navigating through the PM everytime.

However, cameras activation by one button can be done, and should be easy. We can integrate it to the high ride level button. We can run a separate wire to the front sensor for 0.5 sec, simulating a obstruction detection. This will activate the 360 cameras. However, to do this you have to be willing to take the front bumper off.
However, knowing that some other cars have Surround view as an option to the diamond button, I think it's not hard to request Porsche to add that to the PSeH menu in a future update, and this should be the right way to do it if they will listen. I think if we have enough people to sign a partition, it will happen, because it's easy for them.

Done. Hit the CAR button one to two times, depending on where you were before. Surround view will come up.
Update: It should be like this. Hit INFO and then CAR. The surround view will show up.
Update: It is not always working. I am still trying to experiment.
By the way, my front camera lens was smashed by road debris. Cost of repair was $860. It didn't take much to damage the lens. For this reason, I have made a Porsche camera lens protector, basically an invisible armor film cut to size. It's working great.
