No Alerts With Back-Up Camera???

[Frosted Abe]

We bought an M3 two weeks ago today and found no alerts either with visual arrows or audible beeps of approaching vehicles when baking up. Our 2017 Acura RDX had such alerts when backing up....is there a preference on the M3 we are not finding that turns on and off such alerts?

That said, they are terrible in my opinion. They seem delayed to me and don't even start beeping until you are right up on the obstacle.

Sorry to tell you, but your Model 3 does not have cross traffic alert (like your RDX).

That is a safety feature that would be really helpful. My audi Q5 has it and it has come in handy a couple of times.

Thanks or the input---do you know of a way to suggest enhancements for future software updates to Tesla?

The RDX has 2 rear mounted radars to enable this feature.

Tesla has no rear radar- that can't be fixed with software.

This, blind spot monitoring from the side mirrors, and text message integration are three basic features that Tesla really dropped the ball on imo.

Yeah. I had a 2011 Ford that had cross traffic alert
