How do you turn ON the surround view mode?

Just got a brand new X3 delivered yesterday.

So far, I'm really enjoying it and managed to figure out just about all the features without looking at the manual, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to switch from the standard rearview camera to something other than that, such as the surround view. Pressing the camera button brings me the rear view but I don't see any options under there. How does this work?

THanks much!

Push down on the idrive.

When you turn your camera on (either by gearing it into reverse or by pressing the PDC button to the left of the shifter), you will see a few options on the left side of the screen. It's the first one.

So if you just opened the camera, pressing the idrive command wheel (pushing it, like a button), you'll select surround or 360 view (whichever one you have, if any).

If the cursor is positioned on any other option than the first one, circle the wheel to select the first option and push the button to select it.

Cheers
