What's on your Programmable Buttons?

I use the first 4 for various phone numbers (home, wife's cell, son's cell, office), #5 to toggle day/night map mode, and #6 is nav to my home.

I am interested in what others are doing with these buttons.

#4 is set for USB mode for playing my iphone and displaying album art

#5 is for parked car ventilation (I use that A LOT here in CA)

4) absolutely nothing
5) radio station
6) radio station

I don't use it for phone numbers because my bluetooth sucks the life out of the phone battery if I always have it on - so unless I'm in the car for a prolonged amount of time, I don't even turn on the BT.

blue dragon will become famous soon enough
Why are you guys using them for numbers or even auxiliary? I hit the voice button and say call (sister, mom etc). Same for ipod, I just say Ipod, and it switches to the aux connection.

I have mine programmed for Sirius stations.
