I have
- Navigate to somewhere close to home (for security don't store home address) - Alternative routes - Radio 4 (It's an age thing!) - OTA update check I think there's a couple of others, but can't remember what they are. |

so really, they're not, all 8 of them, hugely useful. I struggle to fill them up really, though have now got rid of 5 - music collection, moved them all up one to fill that space, and made 8 - turn display off.
Guess iD8 guys probably aren't missing them too much.

1 - shortcut to a/c. Can’t understand why there isn’t a physical button to turn this on.

I just hit Max A/C to turn A/C on. Turn Max off and A/C is of course left on. But agree it would be good to have button to turn on/off. Also one of the voice commands I can remember.

When I picked up my car the advisor showed me how to make button 1 a shortcut to display a list of my favorite XM stations. You can easily see a list of about 5-6 at a time, so I just picked 6 for the list. Once the list is displayed, i can use the up/down steering wheel buttons to pick a station from the list.
Another button is for navigate home, but that’s about it. |

But as said, a lot of people seem to "struggle" to fill the 8 up. I only put a couple of radio stations in, as I find it useful to reestablish DAB when it drops out (which it does an awful lot).
