What functions did you assign to 6 programmable buttons?

jbtco · 02-26-2011, 08:29 AM

Just realised that I have 8 buttons not 6 . Must be a European spec thing.

OP

Thanks for posting this... untill now I had no idea some options could be programmed for short cut... so far I have programmed:

1- Nav Night
2- Oil Level
3- Tire Pressure
4- Fave Album
5- nothing
6- nothing yet

Could not be a better timing for this... right after programming the buttons, I went on a date with this beautifull russian girl... driving from one place to next and so on, having good times and at some point I flip the pre-set buttons, the nav screen changes and the "oil level" comes up, then "tire pressure" and she goes,- "wow, what is that..." so I went on explaining and so... this one little short cut feature just added a little bit more

fun...

Thanks again OP, good call and good looking out for all of us!

Sedan_Clan · 02-26-2011, 10:18 PM

Looks like I need to start programming.

Great thread OP. However, I'm surprised so many people use Nav-to-home address so much.

You're most welcome. Thanks all for the contribution.

I am curious why BMW's navi doesn't turn into night mode automatically....

Great thread by the way, never knew about such programming

Good thread but how the he'll do you get the nav to go to night mode in the first place? I have it checked in the iDrive controller but it never goes to night mode. I thought it was automatic. Please help me turn it on!

Why does that surprise you? Often times I find myself somewhere that I am unfamiliar with and I just want to find the best way to get home.... However, of-course I dont need the nav anymore once I get close to my house but it does help to get you going in the right direction.

It can be coded. Hit up Mike Benvo at Powerchips.
