So I brought up the Vehicle Info and turned to the TMPS item on the menu list and pressed the memory button thinking it would at least remember this menu screen so I could then select TPMS later, but it ended up remembering the TPMS screen as I originally wanted. Then I realized how BMW designed it and the rest of the things I wanted memorized were easy to setup.
Interesting. The screen I want most to point a shortcut at are the "recent destinations" from the navigation, but I get the "no can do" message. Any trick to getting that one to 'stick'?
