You know that you can program the buttons on the radio as well...I have those set for specific frequently called phone numbers.

BTW...put your car model and year someone in your signature so we can tell what year your car is....some functions are year/country specific.

I wish they had a longer list of actions to choose from or it was a bit more clever i.e. if you are not Navigating that you can have another function instead of the silly "The Navigation System is ready" message.

When I had my 545i I had next audio source and mute.

Now that I have the M Button I only have one button which is set to mute on/off.

Honestly, I never had any use for them. I programmed the radio buttons and use those because I can just touch them and they remind me what I programmed them to do. I can't remember anything. lol
