Parking camera doesnt switch to front when shifting

Ok so this drives me crazy. When I put it in reverse the rear camera comes on which makes sense, but then when I put it into drive it stays on the rear camera! If Im going forward, I need to see the front! Any way to fix this?

Same thing. But what I mean is I want it to shift to the front camera when I shift from R to D. When parallel parking it's so annoying having to reach out and select each individual camera. Most other modern vehicles do this where it switches from rear cam to front cam when you gear shift automatically

I notice this is a flaw in every German car I have driven / owned where there is a delay after switching from reverse to drive. However, I don't have this problem with my 6MT car!

BMWs don’t automatically engage the front cameras until the PDC detects an obstacle.

Thats the problem. It doesnt even switch when im pulling forward towards an obstacle. The sensors go off but the camera is still stupidly showing me the rear end. makes parallel parking harder than it should be
