I don't think you can set up sport display on comfort mode. But I believe you can code a digital speed display by itself. See other threads about 'coding' options.

If anyone is interested in re-setting their programmable buttons so you can start again from scratch (as I was), press and hold the "1" button and the "globe" button simultaneously for about 5 seconds. A message will pop up on the display screen asking to confirm the deletion of what you have programmed.

I'm probably not using them to their full potential but here's mine:-

1) Call Home
2) Call Wife
3) Call Daughter
4) Call Son
5) Saved Radio Stations
6) Nav to Work
7) Nav to Home

...creative I know

1. Favorite button to turn on rear camera
2. Favorite button to activate tow mode

Anyone have success with these?

THANKS!

1. The rear camera won't turn on because of the speed lock out. I think it s set to lock out at 20mph by default.
2. Other than highlighting tow mode and trying to save it, I don't know how you'd accomplish this. Btw, tow mode automatically comes on when you have a trailer plug plugged into the socket.

1. Presets
2. Apple CarPlay
3. HUD
4. Sync
5. Tire Pressure
6. Oil Measure
7. Sport Display
8. Go Home

If you mess up the programming, you'll be going straight to number 6

There’s also an owners manual built into iDrive…which has multiple ways of searching for info on how to operate your BMW. You can search by keyword, by picture, by quick reference, and there’s even embedded videos…all in iDrive.

In this case, the 1-7 keys that can be programmed for quick access to commonly used functions. Here are mine. What are yours?

1. Presets for radio/xm
2. Enable split screen with media
3. Messages- great way to get to text messages or messages sent to car
4. Driver profiles- allows for quick switching with spouse
5. Comfort ventilation- have to kill the engine first but quickly turns on this feature
6. Navigate to my cabin- one button press and it automatically launches for directions
7. Navigate home- same as above but I may change this as I now have my gesture programmed to do this.

I've searched everywhere for "Enable split screen with media"

I found split screen Maps but can't find it for Media

I don’t have split screen for MEDIA either in my older version of iDrive…but if I do have split screen selected (which I do for OBC Info & Entertainment)…if I press the MEDIA button next to the iDrive controller…the MEDIA screen will appear on the left and which ever split screen selection I’m using will appear on the right.

So if you want MEDIA & MAP…you can save a split screen for map to a 1-8 programmable button…then whenever you want media & map to appear on the iDrive screen, you can select MEDIA then press the programmed button for split screen w/MAP and you’ll have the two things you’ve mentioned displayed.
