2024 I have the backup camera set to delay, but it doesn't delay hardly at all. My 2017 it would stay on until I got up to a decent speed. This one if I move at all over a mph or two it cuts off and I have to hit the button again. Anyway to change the setting so it will stay on longer or cut out at a higher speed?
Just my curiosity, but why would you want the backup camera on once you’ve started moving forward? I’d be happy if mine shut off faster as I hardly look at it anyway.
I really only use mine to spot myself close to another vehicle when parking or to get under a trailer ball.

to verify the trailer is staying hooked up after you start moving?
I don't look at mine either once I'm going forward but i imagine some users like to double check once under way.
If you backed too far when connecting your trailer and now you are pulling forward the delay would keep the camera on for the forward adjustment. My 2015 F-150 worked perfectly like that - this truck the delay doesn't work at all. I thought it was just my truck. Sounds like it isn't.
I believe it was attempted on the models up to 2022 by some of our resident FORScan gurus but I don't recall ever seeing a solution posted. I ended up buying a plug and play module from 4dtech so that I could use the CHMSL camera at any speed on the 2022 I had. The current 23-24 FORScan spreadsheet doesn't show a change for this function.
My 2023 has 360 cameras. I haven't experimented much with it but pretty sure I can view at least the rear cameras at speed with the push of a button.

Mine has the 360 and when my 2017 that also had the 360 was delayed it kept the 360 on until you hit like 10 mph I believe. It's not that I need the backup part necessarily but the 360 is really handy delayed if you're in a tight spot or don't want to drive over a curb or other obstacle like you're near a gate etc. Now it cuts of what I consider prematurely at nearly any speed after you finish backing up and then move forward and you have to hit the button again to put it back on.

Should make sure it's hooked up properly before moving anyways. If it isn't attached you'll know soon enough. Look for the child running infront of the vehicle instead of trailer behind.
