Holy Crap Found Something
Then after a second of holding my finger there without pressing the button, the screen said I can program a phone contact or entertainment option. It was way cool, I now have the most commonly dialed 4 numbers and USB audio and only useful radio station in my area programmed. They are awesome shortcut keys for making common calls without using iDrive! This may be old news, but not to this dummy!

I know what you mean. That is a cool feature. I have nav destinations set as well as frequently called phone numbers.

you sure this wasn't in the other thread about cool features you may not have known about?
But I agree, the touch-sensitive buttons on otherwise-ordinary-looking console buttons was a nice touch.

You can program those for anything.
My list: 1- 89.5FM (cool seattle station) 2- Traffic radio (AM station) 3- Map hover (useful to see what's ahead) 4- Turn off/on display 5- Grey map (traffic view on/off). Also looks cool against the grey/black dashboard 6- Night mode (on/off) |

1 - home address
2 - frequented 2nd address 3 - aux for ipod rest are radio stations since sometimes they don't appear in the horizontal line for some reason 1 & 2 are more for traffic avoidance reasons. Saved me just 2 nights ago. Lifetime traffic is sweet... MB and many other brands only offer 6mo. subscription via XM satelite. Before you say it - who really wants to whip out their smartphone and punch in coords just for that?

P.S. I don't plan to renew the Sirius when it expires. Same old stuff. Expecting Sirius to go bankrupt soon. |

Just make sure you remember to wipe all of these saved info from your iDrive, should you sell you E70.
A friend of mine who recently purchased a used E70 from a dealer, found them programmed with NAV destinations (incl. their home address it seems) and phone numbers etc. that I'm sure you wouldn't want the next person buying your car to know.
