I'll have to force myself to start using them!
I just returned from my 335 ED vacation. The only shortcut button I could program was one that goes straight to the IPOD. I tried to set one up to go to the EQ settings; it told me it couldn't. One to go to the Trip Computer; it told me it couldn't. One to display the main navigation menu; it told me it couldn't. One to just show a map, facing north; it told me it couldn't.

Now, I didn't RTFM, so maybe there is documentation of what iDrive settings you can actually shortcut, but it sure seems very limited in what you can configure as a shortcut.

I even made sure that my comfort access key was in the slot, as the delivery guy explicitly said that those types of customization settings required the key to be in the slot.

Do you have a different experience with setting up arbitrary shortcuts?

Maybe we should start a thread where folks post their shortcut "sets."
