As I said, there's a quick boot mode that only goes to the reverse camera for this scenario.

But nobody gets in their car so fast after unlocking in the real world. After 2 months of ownership I've only seen this control less version of that screen once before this, and it was for less than a second. In practice the reverse camera is always going to be ready unless you are trying to make your getaway from a bank robbery on a daily basis.
Thanks. If I dissect your explanation correctly, those with CIC better not consider robbing a bank. Well, not unless they back in first.
