Is it possible to use AlfaOBD to disable the 10 second time out feature if the backup/cargo cameras?

I just bought a 19’ 2500 and am interested in this as well
After some more digging I found a couple threads where people mentioned it is not in the capabilities of AlfaOBD

What's the 10 second time out? does it shut off after 10 seconds? I feel like I've used it to back up to a trailer before, and I'm confident it's taken longer than 10 seconds a time or 2

That's the idea, anyway. There is also a "zero" setting so the backup camera turns off as soon as you shift out of reverse.

That's how mine works. Shift into reverse, camera comes on. immediately after coming out of reverse, either to park or drive, camera shuts off.

Is there a setting where it stays on after coming out of reverse? or is the setting to shut the camera off if you're in reverse for longer than 10 seconds?

There is a setting on 8.4 display that lets me select it. See post 4 to add it in with AlfaOBD if it isn't there. The time selection is how log it turns off AFTER shifting out of reverse.
