I have the first one for my nav system to my house, the next one is to call home, the third to my wife's cell. After that, not sure what to do with them....

Can't think of a use for more than three? Man, I'd love to see a bunch of them. Aside from three frequently called numbers, one is set to switch the audio mode to the USB interface, one is set to a Sirius channel, and one is set to an AM news channel.
I've been saying for years that they need to give us the abilty to merge presets, etc. to one "favorites" screen that can have selections from multiple sources. (see this post for more information.) For example, why not have a page in iDrive that allows us to store more favorites? It could have twenty, thirty, or more. It could be just like the favorites buttons but would give us many more so that all presets from all radio modes plus speed dials, etc. Why do we need to have things compartmentalized by radio band, etc?

I'm sure we will see new innovations in this area with the F01.

I have wife's home & cell phone, AM news station, WB weather channel, and my home address for NAV.
BUT - Rudy I like the idea of having a button to activate the AUX iPOD... every time I try to say "AUX" or "AUX Menu" via voice cmd I get the "TIME" display... WTF? So I'll have to try doing that.
