I just bought a 2018 Seneca with the Garmin GPS RVBBT 601. The rearview camera works in Reverse and side cameras with turn signals. Is there anyway to view the rear camera in Drive so I can check what I am towing? Former owner said no.
On ours all you have to do is touch the camera icon on the screen and the rear camera will come up but the ignition key does have to be on for the cameras to work. These Garmin units can be very quirky if the updates have not been done. First thing I would do is check for updates.
I installed a switch to prevent the side cameras from coming on and disconnecting the rear camera. With the ignition on you just hit the camera button.
I found the side camera were less then useless and would rather just have the rear view on to monitor towed vehicle
