Sometimes it would be very useful to see other side front wheel up close, but I am not sure how to do it?

Welcome to the Forum

I’m not sure if I understand the question.
But, in my humble opinion, there should be a camera in both of your door mirrors.
Each shows the front wheel on the side of the car that the door is positioned - or at least it should

Yes, but I don't know how to switch between left and right front wheel camera. My car has steering wheel on the left side and cycling with Camera dashboard button always shows right front wheel, but sometimes I need to see also left front wheel position.

I don't think it's possible.

Would be handy though

.
Odd
On my screen I can see in front of the car, behind the car and both sides - at the same time.
I've never tried to see anything specific as this view is ideal for parking

That view is also very useful, but in low lighting conditions it would be great to have also wheel view for better precision.

I know this is an old thread but i asked my dealer the same question. Apparently its a legal thing as by law you’re supposed to park in the direction of flow so your rear reflectors get illuminated at night, so for RHD you should park with left front to the curb and for LHD right front to the curb. hope that makes sense. So Nissan made it so you cant change the view

That explanation sounds made up, just so he can give you an (any) answer :lol:

There are plenty of one-way streets on which you can legally park on any side and still be "in the direction of flow". Also, how about RDH cars driving to LHD countries or vice-versa? Does the camera side change depending on actual location?

I hate it when the dealers make up stuff just so they don't say "I don't know". I've experiemced plenty of similar cases myself. :(
