Memory Buttons
I took delivery of my 2011 CPO this weekend and now working through having a good working knowedge of the iDrive system. There are two things I cannot figure out.
1. - I want to save a particular destination (my home) into one of the memory buttons so when it is pushed the Nav system sets itself up to take me home. It was no problem programming the address book into a button but I have been unable to program a specific destination. Can this be done and if so how? 2. - Page 137 of the manual has a section called "Gas station recommendation". By pushing "1 'Navigation', 2 'Route information', and 3 'Recommended refuel', the remaining range is calculated and gas stations along the route are displayed.". I do not see "Route Information" after pressing "Navigation". What am I missing as the manual certainly cannot be wrong. Last edited by RhoXS; 07-15-2013 at 08:19 AM.. |

Left click twice to get into the Route Information menu or use voice command and just say Route Information. |

Thanks for all the good advice. It helped me figure out what to do.
All that is necessary, as stated above, is to go to the address book and just highlight the address to be put in memory. After the desired entry is highlighted just hold in the desired button for a few seconds. Whenever that button is then momentarily pushed the Nav system comes up with that destination already set in. |

In an earlier thread on this forum someone pointed out that if you set a memory key for your home address, it will provide a simple path to your home if someone steals the car. Of course there are many ways to find your home address, but you might at least consider naming the destination something other than "home", and/or saving a location that is near your home, but far enough away to not trigger your garage door opener.

True, but you may have choices there, too. e.g., in NYS you can list a PO Box address on the registration document. You do have to list your residential address elsewhere on the application form, but that isn't printed on the registration or title documents.
