Mine is set up so that the nav voice instruction is muted. Then having one of the steering wheel keys set for nav instruction repeat means I can get a spoken instruction if I want it, as most of the time you can follow the map on screen without the voice instruction.

i would love to use mine for something, however.....
whenever i turn off my ignition they default back to other settings, next audio source for the diamond i think, same problem with my tone/fader/balance settings too. i'm posted this problem several times, but nobody knows why. i can't determine if i have a software problem or a bad CCC. i guess i have to do to the dealer to find out.

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
BTW, mine are set to...
Top button - Muting
Bottom Button - Air Recirculate (actually had to check this one as I rarely use it!)

No, seriously, as somebody already asked, why do people program the button for "Mute?" Are your arms really that short?
