Customization of MBUX
Thought I'd start a thread to share different optimizations of MBUX, as I've done a few small things to make life easier but I know there is a lot more to customize, and would love to hear other ideas (Custom themes, drive modes, favorites, etc). I made "Seats" a Favorite and moved it to the first place in the favorites row (so I can switch on seat kinetics and endlessly change lumbar settings), and made "massage" a favorite in the second place, so I can access each easily by hitting the star button on the center console. Also, it's not MBUX related, but I realized I had to program the side passenger mirror to move down when I put the car into reverse (you then have to save this to your seat memory). Just a heads up in case anyone didn't know that. Anyone out there have any good customization ideas?

I can’t seem to figure out how to rename favourites in MBUX for GPS. I can navigate to it or delete it but couldn’t spot a rename option. Any ideas? I assume its possible...
I also could not find the option or if it’s possible to save a custom address to a personal POI either.

sorry I realised I was ambiguous - I meant favourites from a GPS destination. I can only see the address eg. "Anderson Street, Sydney" rather than an ability to rename it to something meaningful like "Joe's chicken".

If you navigate to a destination or select current position in navigation it goes into previous destinations, if you go into previous destinations and select it by keeping your finger on screen you get the option to save as favourite, name can then be changed in favourites as above.

Extremely easy. You hold a preset when you are on a station you like. Press a preset to change. I’ve only used SiriusXM but I assume it is the same for FM.

One way is to press the Parking button on the center console (has a P and a camera on it) It brings up the parking search screen, and gives you all of the options for the different cameras on the right side of the screen. Amazing car.

There are two ways that I know of, per the manual.
- Engage reverse, then select the camera view from the options on the right side of the rear view camera screen
- Set it as a Favorite -- Press the Home button> navigate downwards twice and the Favorites menu appears (or use the Star button on wheel or console)> select New Favorite> select Vehicle> select Camera.

Thank you, works but should be an easier option.

Correction it works when driving at low speed. Didn't work parked but maybe I didn't hold long enough.
