I think top one is to change the air recirc... never used it. bottom one is used to change radio souce.
Edit: Oh I went and varified... the top is to activate the voice command for blue tooth dialing...
Bottom is for entertainment source.
I never use the Voice-Dailing command I guess...

Top button: Display Off - I use this ALL the time after I'm done with any adjustments. I like having a blank screen.
Actually I even put stuff in front of the screen because I need somewhere to put my sunglasses and iPod without using the center armrest, since it takes TWO compartment openings to get at anything
Bottom button: Entertainment Source - switch between iPod (using iTrip)/Radio, and CD when one gets boring.

I asked this question because I couldn't decide what to put there cause most of the stuff you can put there is kind of useless.. i dont have my 550 yet so i guess i'll just have to wait to see what to put there
