Go into radio Presets and set your favorite 20 to 40 radio stations. Remember, it can be a mix from AM, FM, Sirius, HD radio.

Next, hover the iDrive cursor focus on the Presets list to the single radio station that is your absolute favorite, the one that you listen to most. Press and hold a single 1-8 button to lock in that one single favorite radio station to a single button.

Next, slide the iDrive controller to the left to hide the Presets list but leave the cursor focus on the word Presets.

Lastly, bring up the navigation screen which is what I'm guessing you leave up 90% of the time.

From this point forward, all you need to do is hit the single shortcut button on the dash and that will bring up your favorite radio station and populate the HUD info with the mixed list of radio station Presets from all the bands. Scroll through that list on the HUD, select a station and you never have to drill down through the radio menu ever again.

The key here is to select your favorite station from the Presets list itself. That's what brings out the Presets list on the HUD. You now have seven additional buttons that are open that do not need to be reserved for radio stations.
