Backup camera - strange behavior
OK, this only happened once, but I wonder if it's a glitch or something common.
Today while stopped at a light, I took my foot off the brake and the car rolled backwards maybe 6 - 8". That caused the backup camera to come on.
I figured it was activated by a switch when the car was put in reverse, but apparently not. It made me look twice to make sure the car hadn't somehow ended up in reverse!
Has anyone else seen this?
I use the mirrors, so this whole government mandated camera thing is new.

When I did the PCA IDS, my instructor was amused when I got turned around backwards on the skidpad and my backup camera came on.
It'll come on when you shift to reverse, but will also absolutely come on if the car rolls back for any reason.

Ah that's right. I've become accustomed to not having a reverse camera on my 991.1, but it'd be nice to have for a sense of security. Damn you lucky .2 owners!

I agree. My Audi has a button to turn on the backup camera and it's very helpful. I haven't read the whole manual yet, but the GT3 doesn't seem to have this button. There's certainly room for an another button, so strange they didn't include that feature.

I feel like I'm a pretty competent driver. That said... you don't realize the value of a backup camera until you have one. You can back up to within inches of something behind you without fear of touching. It's a nice feature.
