Rear view camera - v9.0

[MP3Mike]

Problem solved in 2018.42. App flexibility restored. Nav still might be in background but apps can float over it and be moved as desired.

Do you know that for a fact? When he said point release what did he mean? We are currently on V9.0 2018.39.7

If you use the version format: V<version>.<point> <year>.<week>.<build> <hash>

We are point release 0. It could be a long time before we get to V9.1

Pictures or videos anywhere to confirm it? Or just a rumor?

Probably took the SW developer about 15sec to find the line of code and comment out the function that 'springs' the window back to the bottom when the finger is removed.

ANY app can float where you want? Specifically, cam (obviously) but browser/energy as well? And two apps (where 1 is NOT maps) too?

"You can now use the Calendar, Energy, Rear Camera, and Phone applications at the same time as Media Player. When Media Player is open, these applications display above the Media Player window and can be dragged up or down to adjust the viewing position."

So this is in .42?

Yes along with basic AP on nav.

Hmmmm, can you post a vid, please?

Edit: sorry, didn't realize there was another page. Great news!

Interesting, I'm sitting in a service center waiting on a tire replacement and none of the showroom cars have been updated to V9. Was hoping to play with it a bit

That's funny. The sales people like to put the camera at top during test drives as a demostration of the many safety features.

Do we know if it stays up? I've been x'ing all of the v9 update requests until this get's fixed.

/sigh so still not worth the update for me then, camera full screen top and browser on the bottom is how I drive the car, waze is invaluable. Hopeful this is a stop-gap measure and flippable split screen is restored in a future version of 9.

Remember, version 8 had the menu bar at the top when the camera window was on top. Measuring the top edge of the camera images from the top of the screens and comparing both versions may help quantify if the new location is acceptable for most drivers.

If anyone has a video of the new update in action it would greatly help many make up their mind about upgrading.

It might dampen the criticism enough to not bother

Still haven't updated to v. 9 because of the rear camera....

Question: Does the rear view camera come back after I start up the car again? Or do you have to open up the camera every time I start driving?

Thanks for your response.

Remembers prior apps and config.

As mentioned, your app configuration is retained between uses. However, if you do anything that expands the Media app to its largest size (which happens if you perform any access to USB media), the camera will be closed and you must re-open it.

Oh well, guess I will keep the 2018.36.2 version I have and possibly skip 9 all together, I absolutely love the version I have and would not want to detract from any of the usability I have now. Shame I cant put this version on my wifes car too, hers is on 2018.34
