What button do you press to turn on cameras while driving?
It's not actually physical jumpers (like dip/pin switches), it's a setting in the software that is accessed through the included remote. I wouldn't think that there is a mismatch because once the settings were changed, everything worked as intended.

I'd like to figure out a place to mount a front camera too. That would be great for judging parking blocks. If I had the M-Sport front end, then I know how I'd do it, but we have the Luxury model. I'll figure something out if I decide to pursue it more.

As far as turning the camera on while driving, if I hold the menu button down for two seconds, the camera comes onto the NAV screen. To shut it off, just hit any other button. To get it to show on a split screen, push the I-Drive controller back while the camera is on the screen.
