    Indeed. It feels like reverse psychology or passive aggression. I am almost to the point of re-enabling Driver Monitor JUST to get rid of the alert that it's unavailable!!!

    Oh my, I thought it was assumed that I had disabled the driver monitor camera. That’s my fault for not be completely explicit about that.

    Either way, good luck with your constant messaging about it. If I had to see that message regularly, I’d be annoyed too.

    If your arms don't cover the driver monitor while driving, you will never see the message.
