Default Turn on front cam automatically?

Its not that I cant park but using the front cam while parking is great to make sure Im in the lines evenly and dont hit the curb. Is there any way to have it turn on at a certain speed assuming with something like OBDeleven? Ive done the change so it stays on longer already

Is there something difficult about pushing the camera/park assist button that I am unaware of?

Assign the steering wheel Star button to accomplish this.

Yes. It's a luxury vehicle. Imagine if you had to do this every time you put it in reverse to back up to turn on the camera. Would you be OK with that? Highly doubt it. I don't like having to look down at the button while about to park and waiting for the camera to turn on.

Not a big deal. I have a Q8, by the way...
