Question What do you use your shortcut button(s) for?

Got a chance to sit in my new machine before PDI, and realized my config has two shortcut buttons (wheel and dashboard). I’ve heard many people use the steering wheel shortcut button as a music track back button.

Curious what others use the shortcut button on the wheel and dashboard for?

Wheel -- parking assist screen
Dash 1 -- PCM screen off
Dash 2 -- Exhaust (Some early build cars had two diamonds on the dash)

Wheel: Display Map.
Dash: Return/Display Home Screen.

I did try using the Wheel Button to display the Parking Assist, but I've found it is coming up on its own as I start to pull into my garage. Since that's what I needed/wanted the parking assist for (close quarters) I went back to the Map.

Necessary? No
Useful? Yes, if you're parking in my garage, it certainly can be. Far to many toys I suppose.

I use the one on the dash for my homelink garage opener, and the one on the steering wheel as the "back" scroll button for audio/radio.

Dash = homelink call-up
Wheel = display nav

Wish there was a way to program the engine start/stop to turn off.

Wheel - homelink
dash 1 - PCM home
dash 2 - surround view

Used to have dash 2 as PCM Nav but find the surround more helpful. Nav is one press away on the PCM home.

Wheel: Homelink because it’s 100% unreliable for it to activate by GPS. (Surprised Porsche didn’t add Homelink to the mirror for 2022 - mistake left uncorrected.)

Dash: Parking sensor - if stuck in traffic, exhaust fumes seem to set it off, big bugs too.
