How to: Activate wide angle rear/ front view cameras

Shot this in a X5 but works the same on X3

It's a great feature, shows cars quite early coming from sides in rear view although a very rounded image so takes a bit of getting used too

It's under Panorama view in manual, I assume it only works if you have surround view rather than just reverse camera only option?

wide angle should work without having the "Full Camera Package" right?

You need to press the panorama button to switch between the standard rear camera view and rear panoramic view, you only get that button with the surround camera option
