Side camera activation with blinker

I sold my F250 PSD in favor of F150 Lariat with max tow and 360 camera package (I no longer need the PSD). I was looking to activate the feature where the side camera is activated when using the blinker while towing. It does not appear on my set up screen. It looks as though my software is up to date. Research indicates it should be a feature that is an available on my truck. I have yet to contact the dealer so I thought I would start here. It is a 2023 model year. Thanks in advance.

This is the first I've ever heard of such a feature and I've been towing with my '22 Lariat Max Tow w/360 cameras for three years. The blind spot monitor is extended to include the towed vehicle if you define the trailer in the trailer set-up but that is a radar feature, not a camera feature. It activates the light in you mirror letting your know that there is another vehicle beside your trailer (and truck) so you don't turn or change lanes..

I did a search on AI (Grok) which indicated it was available under the Driver Assist tab of Sync4. It did also mention it may be missing on some builds and may require FORscan to set it up. I’m not convinced it’s worth that much to me to have the feature but if it’s a simple software update I’d certainly take advantage.
