XBimmers | X7 - View Single Post - Programmable buttons in the center of the dash -- what do you use them for?

I've used these for years on my other BMW's, essentially they are shortcuts to the 100s of different functions buried in iDrive.

So instead of having to tap-tap-tap or scroll-scroll-scroll to, say, navigate to work or call home or jump to your favorite radio station, you can assign each button to be a one-touch shortcut to those functions.

I have one set to toggle between full screen and split screen, one to bring up my favorite XM radio channels, another to bring me to my iPod, etc.
