My X5 was early production, before gesture control was available. Even so, I disable gesture control on BMWs I drive for any time that have it. Unintended actions are annoying, like muting the radio whenever reaching for a beverage in a cupholder.

I've never had that problem with my 2020 X7. Not once have I accidentally muted the radio by reaching for my drink. I use the mute gesture control feature all the time.

There is an SIB out on unattended gestures with the gesture control.

my car isn't inadvertently reacting to random hand positions/movements, so the SIB isn't applicable for my case. the mute is actually induced by me inadvertently because i naturally point my index and middle fingers (BMW's mute gesture) when touching the control display or front console buttons using the fatty pad of my middle finger. i disabled this gesture because i don't want to relearn how i point at the control display or console buttons. plus, it's already second nature for me to mute the system by simply tapping the radio volume button... courtesy of my wife's bimmers for the past 13 years

It just takes you to whatever music app you were using last. In my case thats YouTube Music (love YT)

In idrive go to Media, with CP connected, and rest the cursor over Apple CarPlay - then press and hold your favourite button. Done.

Same principle applies for Maps, and Comms

How do I add cancel navigation to favorites? I tried different ways but can't figure it out.

1- wife phone number
2- favorite radio station
3- carplay
4- temperature sync
5- driver profile since my wife and me use the same key

samvora ,

Before you do what I outline below, please set a destination-- or else cancel destination won't even appear

Having done that, from the Home screen:
* Select NAV from the left.
* Push the Control knob to the Right
* CANCEL should be highlighted on right hand side of screen
* With CANCEL highlighted, press pre-set button of your choice

The setting of a destination (any destination) initially is what it took me a bit to figure out, but I guess it's logical

Hope that helps!

Yup it is logical to have a route going or else what is it going to cancel lol!

Having said that, that is exactly what I had tried last time around but it didn't work. Will give it a go again and report back. Thanks for the instructions man

I've programmed the first one to switch to CarPlay but everything else I can think of can be completed by asking the personal assistant to handle it. This process can be a bit hit-or-miss but it's pretty decent.

Curious to see what you guys have programmed in. Might get a few ideas to make better use of the programmable memory.
1 - CarPlay
2 - Interior Lighting
3 - Exterior Lighting
4 - Seat Comfort
5 - Display Settings
6 - Drive Recorder
7 - Sync Climate
8 - WiFi Toggle (most used to fix CarPlay or other)
