BMW Coding for Top View Camera in Reverse

I just picked up a 2018 X6 and coded all the options I wanted using the BimmerCode App. Anyone know if it's possible to code the car to use the Top View Camera instead of the Rear View Camera when I put the car in reverse? On my 2015 X5 when I put the truck in reverse it would go to the Rear View Camera but if I press the I-Drive button it would go to the Top View Camera. Unfortunately that does not work in my 2018 X6 I have to navigate to the Rear View Camera first then press the I-Drive button.

Thanks

I believe BMW changed it since 2016 production.
AFAIK, it is not possible to code it.

If this becomes possible I would be highly interested. Also is there anyone in the Massachusetts area that can do coding on my 2018 x6?

Looks like we with old builds (2014/2015) have some goodies. That backup camera top view by default, ability to change ambient lighting, ability to put bigger spacers on front axle and probably some other things too.

Why would bmw change that? Is it because of mandatory backup cameras? And top view doesn't count?

Dunno. I asked a "genius" about it when I got my (now 1 year old) f15 to replace my E70. They didn't even know it had changed....

I have a 2014 F15, so it should be possible to get Top view by default when shifting to reverse?

You should get the last view used anyway, so if you used top view last time, that's should be displayed whenever you engage reverse.

Nope, I always get rear view, never top view. No matter what I’ve used before.
