1. Can I change the angle of the backup camera?

2. Can I turn on the backup camera from inside the car (without putting it in reverse)?

When I pull the GS into the garage, I would use these features to ensure I leave room so the garage door doesn't scratch my bumper.

 

No and No.

 

I like to leave a much space in the front as possible without running the risk of the garage door hitting the bumper. What I do... I pull the car almost all the way in then I start backing out. I use the horizontal guide line and line one of them up with the edge of my garage which will put the car at almost exact location I want.

 

You youngins and your cameras. Back in my day we found the perfect parking position and then just placed a 2x4 to mark the spot.

 

Hang a small rubber ball or other such object from the ceiling of the garage on a string or fishing line. Drive the car into the garage until the ball or object just taps or comes within an inch of the windshield. Perfect distance each and every time!

 

That works also.

 

I just go in until the park assist shows three bars in the front. I'll something stop at reverse for a second before going into park just to take a peek.

 

Our just park reverse?

 

Excellent advice. Just tried it and it leaves a safe amount of space between the back end of the car and the garage door.

Thanks!
