I'd bet they pre-save the shortcut to the //M HP/TQ gauges to Button 1.

That’s actually #8 on my NBT, tire pressure is 7, ambient light color change is 6, 5 is internal HDD music, 4 is external sources menu (iPhone+ iPod+usb movies) 3 is Sirius + HDradio presets, 2 is dvd zoom, 1 is DVD.
I really do use them as shortcuts to stay out of needin* to look at menus or needing to look whilst cycling thru sources on wheel/ screen.

Don’t you use the eight programmable buttons to store radio station presets? This is basic.

3 x radio stations, sports dials, map navi to home, phone number speed dials. So convenient and far less intrusive than talking to the car.

The biggest challenge to voice commands reaching their full potential is answering the “what can I ask?” Barrier. Button you click it and it does what it does no ambiguity. Want the car to start guidance to a destination by voice? You first need to figure out “how to say it to the car”. They really should publish or have a website with a full suite of commands. So help expose some of the stuff voice can do. A good example for me is when I am driving in rural areas at night. I will usually use voice to disable all ambient lighting and to turn off the central display while I keep my eyes on the road scanning for deer… |

2 - shortcut to carplay 3 - sound settings 4 - mobile devices - if i quickly want to disable carplay to get my phone to connect to my dashcam wifi or home wifi and stay connected! (so irritating) 5 - sports displays 6 - phone number (to dial quickly) 7 - tire pressure monitor 8 - drive recorder (redundant) I keep changing some of these but 2 is always Carplay in all my cars, and 1+8 are drive recorder.

The general thought process with drive recorder is that I need to instinctively get it right if I need it suddenly, and I'm probably 99% primarily focused on what's going on on the road when I'd need it. I started with '8' on one car. Then assigned '1' on one of the cars to make it even easier to remember. Eventually left it to both 1 and 8 on both (?) cars - it's definitely both on the M4; can't remember now if it's only 8 on the X5. I'll probably just go with '1' on both cars in time, with 8 getting reassigned to something else. In any case, the one time I really needed it (someone nearly T-boned me blowing through a stop sign), the damn thing started with the initialization process as though I'd never done it instead of being ready to record. Very disappointing. I've Blackvues in both cars for front and rear that I rely on primarily. Hopefully I'll never need to trigger the driver recorder manually of additional footage.
