2nd button from the left (next to the auto start-stop button) above your Sync display.

If you hit the Pro trailer button. You get more views for behind!

I keep wondering the opposite - How to quickly get the camera OFF the screen while in reverse so we can change sources on audio (like if something bad is playing). You can turn off the cameras with the camera button but it doesn't seem to work in reverse, I have to back all the way down the driveway, shift, toggle camera off, and finally get it off of whatever podcast is cursing up a storm.

I don’t think this shows the reverse cams. Just 360 and the bed. I’ll check on mine.

Also button order is not same on every truck/trim. But he means the camera button, and I also don't think it pulls up reverse cam until you do the zoom on the 360 and select the tailgate.

I like the other idea of pushing the pro trailer button without a trailer! That's a great workaround, once you clear the several warnings about no trailer....

I selected my cams, got to 360, and can see the 360 view, but can’t activate the reverse one unless in reverse

I'm in the same boat. Only way for me is to shift in reverse. I will try the ProTrailer button.

I noticed the Raptors have the option as part of the 360 camera to select the backup camera when going through each view. Has anyone been able to find this feature without getting into the Pro Trailer settings?
