Dash Preset Button Issues
Are any of you guys having trouble setting certain functions to the preset/shortcut buttons?
As an example, my daughters frequently leave the rear seat AC controls in funky settings, so I tried to set a preset to show the rear AC control screen on the idrive. It won't let me do it. Keeps giving me an error to the effect that function cannot be set/assigned (“unable to save”). Is there any list of functions that can/can't be set to the lower dash present buttons? Thanks Last edited by davecraze; 12-26-2018 at 10:25 PM.. |

Such would be of interest as I could not use a favorite button to toggle iDrive 7 and CarPlay.

Older versions of idrive were like this also, so not surprised, it is a somewhat limited list of things you can preset, unfortunately not everything which you would think would be easy for them to do if they wanted.

Weird because I was able to save sync ac as a present (as some others have done on this forum). So why are some ac functions saveable but not others. Arghh.

Phone numbers and navigation destinations are frequently so used.
On my F15, I could save certain points of the settings but that has not worked out for the ones I wanted to use on the G05.

By the way, has anyone noticed a little bit of cheapness about the preset buttons? It seems like they aren't very solid... like there's a floating layer that isn't secure.

On our F15 (and other BMWs), my presets always include 1) Full screen/split screen switch 2) Sport display 3) Navigate home 4) Driver profile
