Questions

2 questions
- does your volume knob in the center console (with a little power symbol on it) light up at night? All the buttons are lit in my console except for that one. Also to make matters worse, when I adjust volume use that knob, the inner piece with power symbol on it moves as well. So I end up with a knob where the power symbol is crooked (sideways, upside down,or diagonal). It drives me mad. I have started using steering wheel mounted buttons to adjust volume and try not to look at center console at night. (Yes I'm a bit OCD)

- how do you store presets on the touch sensitive number buttons. For example if I want to store my home address as a shortcut on one of the number buttons, how do I do that? Can you store phone numbers to these keys as well?

Thanks

To program the button, use the controller to select what you want saved and then press and hold the key you want that highlighted item to be associated with.

i.e. Highlight a phone number from the phone book and press and hold the button.

Works for anything you can highlight/select with the controller.
