What are you iDrive shortcuts set to?

Curious how everyone is using these, beyond a NAV Address and phone number. What do you currently have yours set to?

Yes, mine is set to 8. On the media screen I think, scroll down to CarPlay then press and hold your desired number

Also they are touch sensitive, so if you just put you finger on the button (but don't press it) it will tell you what "action" it is set to. Very cool feature!

Go to whatever option you want to set it to and long press the button. I think there’s a progress bar on top of the iDrive screen till the setting gets stored to the button? I can’t remember for sure since I set it long ago when I got the car.

1/ Home (Nav)
2/ Work (Nav)
3/ Presets
...
7/ Sound Settings
8/ AC Synchronize

Tried adding Carplay as a # preset earlier, but it wouldn't let me when I tried programming off the CarPlay selection in the top task bar. Will now try again through the Media menu.

Some of these options cannot be set for me either (US spec). I tried sports display and tire pressure, but they were both invalid. So for now I have

USB Music
Radio Presets (clean music for when kids are in car)
...
...
Partner phone
Kids school nav
Work nav
Home nav

Are you displaying the sport setting or tire pressure screen and then trying to hold down one of the presets to save? If so, keep in mind that you have to hold down the preset on the button you would be clicking to get to one of these screens (hopefully that makes sense). That being said I've noticed a few that I can't save...the one I really wanted was the 360 camera, but for some reason nothing happens when I try to save it.
