Default Things you wish you had a button for ?

Much as I like the control of pretty much everything through the central touch screen, is there anything you wish you had a physical button for ?

On my T8 I would have a "hold charge" button and "allow aux heater" button to save having to access the centre menu for these.

or is it just me ?

I’d like a customizable shortcut button on the steering wheel + maybe a button (could be a soft one on the home screen..) for a 360 cam. All else is fine being on the screen.

Not so much as a button, more of a stick really.


For checking oil levels!

This 360 cam!! Would be really useful as sometimes you've not got time to go through menus, just this morning it was 50/50 if i would scrape my alloy or loose a mirror, quick 360 cam button would have helped, lucky escape today.

Absolutely agree - the 360 camera! Would like either a soft button or being able to shout 'CAMERA NOW!' at it.

A row of 6-8 customizable buttons (My 10 year old X3 has these)

It took me some time to find the quick menu on the steering wheel (right side but left bottom button that looks like a text icon)

I can now do most of the things I need without touching the central display.

A button to initiate the gentle and safe removal from my vicinity of any other road user who irritates me.
