It seems that if you start to move then after a while you can't use commander's visor anymore, the progress circle stops itself short after you press the button, though sometimes it works, but in my case it breaks itself in 95% cases, so it's not 100% consistent.

Each time I was holding the button until the circle disappeared.
It might also be related to the fact that these visors are "blinking" when the vehicle moves (unlike when it stops or is stationary).
Also it seems that overall the visor related controls are quite delayed, once you use it and then get away from it you can't get close again for a few seconds
