Although highly not recommended, this IS actually what happens in the situation. In fact, I was doing between 60-70mph when it happened (wasn't really paying all that much attention to my speed at the time honestly) But, long story short, my girlfriend was well..(she was giving me a hummer, there isn't any other way to say it) and while she was leaning over the center console she pushed the shifter up in to reverse and it scared the crap out of me cause I looked over and the rear camera came on! I noticed that my foot was still on the gas and the tach was heading towards redline, but it must just put the trans in to neutral or something? I put it back in drive and everything was just fine. I was going to say something to her at the time, but I quickly came to my senses and realized, if you say something about this, you ain't ever going to get road head again ( I believe I made the right decision by keeping my mouth shut )

Nice to know...

But I won't be trying it anytime soon...

Are there any hidden codes thrown in the tranny when something like this happens???

Also, In the Newer LS 460's or 600's, they can access the Tech Service screen and turn ON the Rear Camera while car is going forward..

In our 2IS Tech Service screen, Rear Camera Selection is grayed out..??

It would be nice to un-lock that box... I'm sure it can be done with the proper Nav tool..

that isn't the answer to tailgaters. maybe you should ask yourself why so many people are tailgating you. people are already stupid for tailgating you, what do you think adding more stupidity to the problem will do, resolve it? try the brake lights lol.

hm, why are people tailgateing me.... i dont drive slow. The car is stock and new so nothings hanging off the back. Im pretty sure they can see me. I thought about brakeing but what if they have a slow reaction, then they will run into me and then there will be a big mess everywhere

oh yeah, and i just tried this and it really does work
