What to do with the 8 preset buttons?
New to BMW. Anybody have any ideas what to do with the 8 pre-sets on the center console besides programming radio stations and destination? Both of these things are easier with voice command anyways.
I have had the car for three months now and am yet to touch these for anything. |

It's pretty flexible, so everyone probably has very different uses, but mine tend to be:
- Common phone contacts - Home and work for nav - Common apps (Spotify) I agree with things like Carplay, voice command, and overall improved technology, presets may be more antiquated in practical use cases nowadays. |

I tried to map them to some settings I use sometime. But they can't be mapped.
I want to map one to call my garage door but have yet to install the gsm module on the garage... Besides that, no use for them.

Went to "Installed Apps", highlight "Weather" icon (do not open weather window). Then store as preset.

I got one configured as a dedicated CarPlay button, and another for Sport Displays for funsies, and another for car status (Check Control). They're really versatile
