What button options should go on the fourth spoke of the steering wheel?

1) Nav options,
2) Sunroof button, or
3) Starter button

Of those three options I would only think nav stuff belongs on the wheel.

I would want an XM button so I could switch between XM1 and XM2 without having to cycle through AM, FM, Disc each time like you have to do with the mode button now.

I've used that one before. It sounds like:

gator500e,

Switching the audio is easy using the voice commands. Simply "XM1 preset1" or "XM2 preset3" will get you straight there without the need for a button. The audio command are some of the nicer ones available (IMO) since they are easy to remember and offer great control (e.g. CD play disc1 track 5).

peteme, thanks for the suggestion. Should have known that, I guess. I still find it easier to just push a button than use the voice control for most things, though. Wonder if I could use voice control to update the XM display info?! Maybe "Update XM Info"?? :-)

Its official the 4th post is for Acura's Adaptive cruisecontrol. An option I don't think anyone is interested in.
