Based on Electrek article, it seems rearview camera on top is only possible with media player showing. I wonder what happens to the rear view camera when navigation is active.

I agree, but hey, A bike with training wheels is better than walking!

Confirmed. Only works on MCU 3.0 cars.

OMG. The new complaint is “it’s not big enough”. Really 
“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 .42 has two display modes: Map-above-App OR App-above-Media-player? What's their obsession with maps and media players?

Son of a...see what happens. Don’t worry they told me. It’s a bike they told me. A pair of frigging socks.

But seriously- it's not that the floater isn't big enough. It's more so that for a bunch (many? most?) of S/X drivers, the camera view has become an integral part of the driving experience. So much so, that it'd be better, in my view, for Tesla to acknowledge that and at least provide the option to keep the camera feed static. The floating nature of the window indicates that it won't be given priority "sticky" status that I feel is deserved. Just my opinion.
Wait, do you mean MCU2? We're on 3 now? I've been waiting too long with these damn yellow borders on my screen. Now Tesla surely will give me a MCU2

This! I promise, I'm not going to complain (much). But for me, once I start the music (most often days before), I don't change it and I don't need the media app. That is my least-used app. Being unable to use browser/camera simultaneously is still a step backwards in my book. I'm still disappointed in our loss of functionality with v9 and what we know about the future (which is not much).
None listed on ev-fw.com or teslafi but there are screenshots from this thread:

Ugh, that's even worse. The Tesla UX team is not listening. We don't need stacked popups. We need split screen back. Camera at the top, map at the bottom, how hard can it be?
This seems a bit hyperbolic. You wanted the camera on top, they gave you the camera on top. About 2 weeks later. Once you have this set up, it looks to be essentially identical to how it was in 8.x. I’m not seeing how that’s “worse” than not being able to have the camera on top at all.
My guess is true split screen is too big a difference from a floating app to make it a single code base for both landscape (3) and portrait (S/X) screens.

We didn't just want the camera on top, but any app (including music). The problem with the new layout is that the map is still on top. Squeezed into a tiny strip and utterly unusable. And the music player is always at the bottom now.
Simple use case: driving from Home Depot with your trunk full to the brim (or not fully closed with a bunch of 2x4s sticking out). You want the camera on top (to replace the blocked rear view mirror), map at the bottom (to check for traffic).
I do get that it's hard or impossible to combine the UI code base for 3 and S/X, so maybe it was the wrong thing to do in the first place.

Essentially, I (we) would like (want) V8 with all the cameras active and associated AP updates.
Where did you hear that from? Original reported user (one who posted the screen shot) has AP1 with the original MCU.
