If I'm not mistaken holding keys 1 & 8 clears them all.


You can make, almost any function a hot key. I have 1&2 as phone numbers, 3 as my "messages" for when I get texts, emails or send info to the car, 4 is another phone number, 5-8 are my places of employment and home.


Hovering lets you see what it is. I wouldn't put any function in that is already available via steering wheel controls, or the iDrive controls.

If you want a contact, go to that contact, the exact number to dial, and as you are getting ready to dial, push and hold the button.

Same goes for navigation - when you are ready to hit "accept destination" or "start navigation" press and hold the button and it will save that function. It essentially saves whatever your iDrive cursor is over.

you can do this for the user manual, Vehicle Info, Efficient dynamics, Sport displays - almost anything.
