Can you lock the backup camera when backing up?

[Bl@ckout]

Tried searching for this and couldn't find anything. Car is a 2022 M3P.

So when I was backing out of a parking spot at the store tonight, I was watching a pedestrian that was near my car as I was backing up. My wife hit the climate button to turn her heated seat on and the backup camera immediately closed and the climate screen came up. I freaked out because I couldn't see anymore and was worried about hitting the pedestrian. Yeah, I shouldn't rely solely on the camera, but it would be nice if there was a setting to keep that from happening while backing up.

Does anyone know if this is an option or any other workaround? I feel like it's somewhat of a safety issue.

Thanks!

Make one of the bottom option buttons the camera button so that you can bring it back up if it gets removed. Or switch to P or N than back to R.

You can also bring the front seat heater controls to the bottom panel so that they can be used without bringing up the climate screen.
