Camera in 3rd brake light access

So I have a 2017 F350 Lariat SD that has the ultimate trailer tow package.. It has a camera in the 3rd brake light but I can't figure out how to activate it, even while sitting still in park. Any ideas? No option in the menu and the dealers here are not helpful.

Only works when you're in reverse, it goes to the tailgate camera but you can select the 3rd brake camera (CHMSL camera)

Top left button, is a camera select button. Touching that toggles between bumper, or cab, or other cameras such as front, 360 if equipped.

Ah geez! My dealer didn't even tell me that.... Seems odd only in reverse... Why not even when in park? I hope someone comes up with a way to override this... (I know, safety)
