HD Radio shortcut button issue

I've got HD Radio, and one annoying problem is that the car wont remember a HD Radio sub channel (-HD1, -HD2, -HD3, etc) on a shortcut button.

It only remembers the main channel, and then you have to use the < or > buttons to scroll through to the sub-channel you want.

Does anyone else have the same issue ?

Well ... at least its not just my car then !

Its ashame BMW doesn't offer a better way to log i-drive software relelated bugs, perhaps via owners circle or something. Talking to service people at dealers is pointless. They will simply say, you;ll just have to wait for a software update to idrive ... if you push them, they might open a PUMA case for you ... but this is time consuming and you'll be without your car for potentially a long period.

I'm having similar issues with the Sirius radio and shortcut keys. I have my sirius channels in the 'Presets', but if I set a hotkey for a particular channel within the 'Presets' it will still shortcut me to that Category and not my presets. Also I cannot set 'Presets' to a shortcut key. Just going have to deal with it

Mmm .... I got this working ok. I believe I simply went to Sirius, all channels was displayed. Scrolled through and selected the channel I wanted. Selected Details. So song info screen was being displayed ... then I pushed and held the shortcut key to assign it.

Okay I have a big problem with this. I'm not happy with not being able to store HD2,3,4 channels at a preset. I'm even MORE upset that you can't get to the other HD channels w/o being on MANUAL. That means, when I am scrolling through my presets in PRESET mode, I can't get to the additional HD channels w/o switching back to MANUAL!

How is this possible!!?! Did no one use this before they sold it? I am speechless.

Did anyone find a workaround?
