1. Radio presets (I then use thumb control on wheel to select specific station).
2. Plugin adapter (for iPhone cradle) 3. M Laptimer app 4. Nav 5. Split screen 6. Sport displays 7. Wife's cell 8. Wife's profile preset Making #8 my wife's preset lets her get into the car, press one button and have the entire car configured to her tastes. Her #8 preset is my profile, so we can switch back and forth quickly if we take turns driving. Our key fobs are already linked to our profiles, so if she uses her fob to unlock the car it automatically configures the car to her tastes, but we usually travel together in same car and only have my fob, so using the #8 preset to switch profiles is really convenient. |

Pro tip: Don't waste preset buttons with individual radio stations. Create a list of favorite radio stations and program the preset button to bring you there. You can then navigate quickly between your handful of favorite stations (AM, FM & Sat) using the thumb control on the steering wheel. That frees up a lot of buttons for other functions.

awesome tip one thing i hate about the scroll wheel for radio is that it shows the radio name and not the number (example WBZN instead of 98.5), I only remember the stations by number |

Haha I know what you mean. I think you can turn off the station identifier so it only displays the number. I'll take a look next time

I've tried everything, will work for a few days then poof. Sometimes it lets me program numbers again sometimes not. Very hit or miss. If I did the same thing and got the same error I could try and diagnose / resolve but it's all over the map.

Wait we can program the buttons to bring up different screens and apps? I thought it was for radio stations only.
So how do you program it to bring up the map in full screen or a specific app? |

Also I do not believe it is possible to have some shortcuts split screen and others fullscreen. For example I would love to have nav pop up full screen and then presets split with entertainment info on the right... |

1 - Sirius (will go away once the trial is over)
2 - Local Radio 1 3 - Local Radio 2 4 - Local Radio 3 5 - Message Center 6 - Sport Display 7 - blank / can't remember. Maybe I'll try the weather? 8 - Navigate Home (surprisingly useful for detours, rush hour (ARTTI) , or middle of the night in an unfamiliar part of town) |

i'm surprised so many people still listen to the radio!!!
1. Bluetooth music 2. Harddrive music 3. Message Center 4. Random (I like this because when I listen to an album, I don't want it to skip - when I reset search for all songs, I can hit random again) 5. Split screen toggle 6. Map 800 FT 7. Work nav 8. Home nav |

Gotta have my NPR!
I'll have to try the Bluetooth music shortcut. Many of these things are easier with the I drive for me. I use most of mine for Nav destinations. |
