Display reverse camera video as widescreen

[jay.pxl]

Hi there

I’ve recently had my 300h F-Sport serviced and for the life of me can’t figure out how to get the reverse camera video to display as widescreen when reversing.

I’ve played around with the settings and reread the manual.

I’ve tried hiding the side panel but when I put the car into reverse is displays as attached.

Not sure if the service technicians updated the navigation software. Does anyone knows how to change it so the reverse camera video uses the entire display?

I believe, based on my own disappointment when I went from a 2016 to a 2019 RC, that the software update that changed the display functions to a 10.3” configuration on most and maybe all models in the Lexus range during that period did not include the reverse camera image, which remained 7”.

It is strange why the whole screen is not used for the reversing camera.

It is indeed strange. Or shall we say anomalous for a premium marque like Lexus?  It could be that the camera component itself would have needed changing at the same time as the software was modified, and Lexus/Toyota preferred to keep the same system and image size across its entire range for economy’s sake.

It's just the camera's native resolution
