What have you programmed the 8 buttons to do?

Harplayr · 06-10-2011, 10:15 AM

I like the fact that there are 8 programmable buttons you can set to call up stations and various functions. So just wondering what you guys have set these buttons to do.

LEDZEP · 06-10-2011, 10:19 AM

Button 1: Eject Passenger

Radio stations
Switch Nav on/off - this is essential because of that irritating bug when you keep driving after "reaching" your destination and the arrows are stupidly stuck on the dash
Call home/wife
Switch to USB music

I'm using mine to control some advanced features

1. Show "Drive Moderately, Avoid Hard Braking" warning
2. Toggle driver window wind noise
3. Enable Bluetooth MAP support

You forgot

4. Switch off "Ruin all of my albums by playing their songs in alphabetical order rather than the order intended"

Don't want to get the interior dirty.

Button 1: Open Sunroof, then eject passenger.

Number 1 through 8:
Transform the X3 into a X6M.
Except there must be a bug since all I get is a display screen message to send $80K to:

Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677-7731

I love #5. But you should add something like:

"Ugly girl in car behind you: Activate septic tank waste exhaust, drops grenade, activate rear bazooka and fire"

pault · 06-10-2011, 03:48 PM

Button 8: Activate 2nd row of buttons

What about "FOG" lights.
I'm frustrated that mine are always clear while some got the auto fog option for free.

Let me guess... Your wife programmed the buttons for you.
