Question what did you assign to your "favourite buttons"?

So, after the sat nav woman interrupted my phone call many times, I listened to the user's guide and assigned "1" to muting her off.

Now I still have 7 more buttons non-assigned, what do you guys have as favorite buttons?

Given that whatever I am trying to get away from wil also have run flats I set Button 4 for the rear oil spray. Button 6 I set to record off the rear camera with a bluetooth feed to my iPhone and a direct uplink to YouTube.

I have the following
#1 - Quick access to Ipod playlists
#2 - Favorite FM station
#3 - A phone number
#4 thru #6 - Frequent nav destinations. Even though I know the way to work, etc, this enables traffic info.

I normally keep the nav voice off and use the 2nd screen for "Arrow display" when I need it.

just go anywhere in the menu, lets say the audio tone adjustment menu (where you manage your bass etc). when you are on a page you want to make a shortcut for, click and HOLD any of the buttons you want to assign. A beep or something like that will sound when its stored.

I only use 3 or 4 atm, but its pretty handy.

1. i use for my audi tones setup, easy to adjust the bass a little when a song needs more or less bass.
6. i use to enter a new address in my sat-nav.

(others i forgot, hehe)
