Are you saying the cameras don’t come on when an obstacle is detected or that the cameras don’t come immediately? Not coming on when an obstacle is detected indicates there is a problem. The front cameras should activate when the PDC detects an obstacle. They do not come on immediately just because you put the car in drive. That’s not how they are designed to work.

In other words, it does exactly what it should. And the (front) camera turn off when I drive forward 50m or something (or speed is over 50km from memory)

As best as I can tell from what he wrote he’s not actually addressing your issue. He doesn’t make any mention of the front cameras engaging automatically, only that his rear camera comes on immediately when he puts the car in reverse, which is how the system is designed.
