I just bought a 2015 Sienna XLE Premium. We test drove a Limited and got to see all of the features that Toyota offers. One thing I really liked during the test drive were the parking guidance lines that display with the backup camera. I'm not referring to the standard lines that show the width of the van or the distance behind it. These were yellow lines that curved on the screen to show your estimated path. It helps see where you will end up as you turn the wheels one way or the other.I was disappointed to learn that this feature did not come with the XLE Premium. I know the Limited has a wide angle camera vs the XLE Premium's standard view camera. Does anyone have any idea if this feature can be enabled on the Premium? Does it require a different camera?

I have a 2011 XLE Premium with these yellow guidance lines.
You can switch between wide or regular mode by touching the switch button in the upper left screen.
Don't know if it is the same with the new system.
But I am always in wide screen mode and have these yellow guidance lines.

Unfortunately I don't have any buttons displaying on the screen when in reverse. I see the buttons you are referring to in the instruction manual, but they are not available on screen.

I noticed the same on our 15 SE. I don't see any way to turn that on either.

I spoke with my sales person at the dealership and she spoke with a few people there. She said it is now on Limited trims only. That's a shame. Would be really nice to have on the others as well.

You guys are lucky you get the bigger screen on your SE. I have a 2014 and the backup camera screen is really small at the top of the dash. I drove my sister in law's 2011 Limited XLE AWD and it's sweet having all those lines and having it display on the big navigation screen. Wish my SE had that.

I bet there is a way to get it to work, maybe it is in the service menu that I have yet to find on the entune system. I would assume that the tech is there just not activated by Toyota.
