Works just fine in the 2020.

You are able to get the Joker button to cycle through Favorites? If so there has been an update to the PCM. That is big, big news!!! That functionality never should have been removed in the first place.

Not sure what you’re referring to. When I’m using BT, CarPlay, or the SD card, and I don’t like the song that comes up, I press the button and it jumps to the next track.

The Joker button on the steering wheel doesn't work for me when using CarPlay with Spotify. Must use the touchscreen.

The Joker button does not work for me to cycle through my Favorites (SiriusXM/radio). It works perfectly in my 911.

If yours does both of the things above my wife is going to be thrilled because it means an update has gone out and restored the functionality.

I’ll double check with CarPlay. Haven’t tried Sirius yet, but I think I have a free trial as I just purchased the vehicle.

Doesn't have to be with SiriusXM. Can be regular radio too. The Favorites list covers both.

Thanks!

I wish there was a “simple” way to “save” Sport or Sport Plus settings and PSE setting without having to “button set” on each restart. Am I missing a procedure?

Unless you have Sport Chrono you have to reset those each time.

With Sport Chrono you gain Individual mode. This allows you to customize those settings and select them with a dial selector on the steering wheel. So a single quarter turn of one dial rather than multiple button presses.

If you can't get it sorted let me know. I'll do a video or post pics walking through the steps.

Pix worth many words. Can’t “get the protocol” from owner’s manual and trust me, I’ve tried. Appreciation in advance. Ty.

Go to your "Vehicle" menu on the right side dial next to the tachometer. Then select "Settings." Then select "Individual." Tick the boxes you want active with Individual mode. When you get in your car, just dial to "I" mode and voila!

Cleaning, and keeping clean the 20" Black wheels is a MAJOR PIA..one day and the "barrels are "grey" with dust....It's a lease or I'd change the pads..
NO other car I've owned was quite this bad,,,,and BMW's are BAD

FWIW, Silver wheels with oem pads were hopeless. I “swapped” at 6k miles to (not inexpensive) Disc Italia ceramics F&R (did same on my Q5), with similar hot or cold “fee”, stopping power and 90% less dusting.
