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
