Curious what shortcuts you all have set for the mode and star button on the steering wheel? Looking for ideas!

I’ve set my Star button to launch CarPlay.

Same here, but for Android Auto. I couldn’t think of a better option that I use as often.

I set the star button to turn the radio on and off. That way, I can keep the Radio/HVAC panel in HVAC mode all the time.

Does that work any differently from pressing the mute button on the volume rocker?

I use the Star button for audio source and the Mode button for the home screen.

I drive a Niro EV, and I have the Star button set to take me to the main screen. The Mode button cycles between radio, Android Auto, and Bluetooth.

The Star button on my steering wheel is set to take me to the navigation map, and the Mode button switches between Bluetooth, Android Auto, or those built-in meditation sounds. I don’t use the radio much anymore.

I have the Mode button switch between radio and media, and the Star button is set to Quiet Mode—especially useful with small children in the car!
