Trying to save Car Wash camera view to memory buttons

I'd like to save the Car Wash camera view to one of the 1-8 programmable buttons so I can just hit that button when I arrive at the car wash. When I hold the button down that I want to save it to, the line moves across the screen like it is saving it, but then says "button not assigned" or something like that. I've tried to save it with Car Wash option highlighted in iDrive and then with it already selected. It doesn't work either way. Am I doing something wrong or can camera views not be saved to the buttons?

From your description I would say it can't be saved, some functions can't be.

Does this apply to home pages, too - I have three of them and would like to have an easy way for accessing the last one (with night vision and map). Now it's pretty complicated getting there (or I'm missing something)..

I don't think a homepage can be saved since it is not really a menu option. I would think the fastest way to get there would be to hit the right arrow on the controller and then spin the controller clockwise.

I love the idea that you can use the "radio station memory buttons" for other things as well (in all my BMW's) - but why did they leave it halfway :-( (And why can't I activate the drive recorder using the steering wheel buttons - and why did they limit the number of recordings to 10 (or was it 20)? And why can't I set it to record all four cameras in accidents but only the front camera when I trigger it manually? And why I'm getting these ideas?)

Over here all four cameras record when you manually do it.

I think it depends on the setting - haven't tested the one camera setting yet.

Nope.... I've tried to do the same thing. I have several "favorite" functions saves.... buit that little "left-popout" menu is not saveable as a favorite.

Same thing with the towing view... also cannot be saved.
