radio presets can be set to other pages/functions

hello to everyone. I know for many of you this isn't your first BMW, but I just discovered the radio preset buttons can be set to other pages, navigation destinations, 1-touch dialing for contacts, etc. I thought I would share this with other first time BMW owners.

I have #1 set to sport displays so I can see the oil temperature quickly.

Here is a relevant forum pages about it.

How did you get sport displays working? Always says it can't save it when I have that screen up.

Yeah I had that problem at first. So you leave your "cursor" on the menu you want to get to. So don't click into sport displays, you want to be at the previous menu with the sport displays highlighted. Then click and hold the preset and it should save. I can post a video to youtube if my rambling doesn't make sense.

I feel like I tried that, but I'll try again when I get out of work.

Just just highlight it with Idrive on home screen and hold down.

We'll see shortly
