    I am unable to enable to maintain a smooth frame rate with the mirrors enabled, so I rely on the rear view to see behind me. But it is being blocked by the top of the drivers seat. Here it is in the 370Z, but it also happens with other cars. I have not tried every car yet, but all that I have tried had this issue.

    Oddly when the mirrors are enabled it removes the top of the seat from the rear view, giving me an unobstructed view. But as mentioned above I can't keep the mirrors enabled.

    yeah that happens to me too, I would suggest (if the goal is to have a full interior view in rear view) when rear view is enable it shows the middle of the car. more like real rear view.

    confirmed.
    consistent with all cars, and only when mirrors are OFF.
    seems to be linked to the driver "arms" being visible.
    in SETTINGS, DISPLAY - STEERING WHEEL
    OFF
    *FIXED - seat blocking rear view when mirrors are turned off.
    NO ARMS
    *ON - seat blocking rear view when mirrors are turned off.

    Glad you got it sorted fireguard1 but I hope ISI fix this up as it should provide a clear view whether arms are on or not surely...

    Thanks Tim... I`ve noticed something else though.

    I`m getting the seat (or something) blocking my "look behind" view when I turn the mirrors off but when they`re on the view is clear.

    Just thought I`d say.

    Ahh right, I never noticed he`d mentioned that. :p

    Good that it`s known and reported though. :)

    I've been trying to make sure everything gets seen by privately cataloging everything. While I was doing tracks it wasn't possible, but back in the swing of things now. :)
