My Key - what can I do with it ?

[XCF]

Can I store something useful against it ? - manual seems to suggest some items that I can't imagine ever needing to get at quickly ! - am I missing something ?

( I would quite like to store USB on it if I can ) ..

Thanks

no you cant store anything on it .. What they mean is that the remote is remembered by the car and relates electric seat and mirror settings to that particular fob , it doesnt store anything in the key , it is just that the car remembers the particular identity of that key ..

Sorry clan - maybe I used the wrong name. I know what you mean with the keys - had that on my audi for seat / mirror / aircon memory. What I mean is the button on the radio that is labelled "My Key" - the manual isn't that helpful , or maybe I am misunderstanding what I can do with it. Any ideas ?

Ahh i see ! Yes its a customisable button for the audio system , you can program your favourite or most used command on that key ... The manual should explain?

[XCF]

No - the manual says ....


My own shortcut button – MY KEY
Use MY KEY to store a favourite function in the
menu, e.g. TP.
􀂱 Select the function in the menu to be
stored by holding MY KEY depressed for
more than two seconds.
When MY KEY STORED is shown in the display,
the function has been stored.
􀂱 Activate the function with a short press on
MY KEY.
Functions that can be stored with MY
KEY
Random
DISCTEXT
TP
News
Radio text
SEARCH PTY
AF
REG
Surround

I was hoping I could store something like the "By Artist" menu from under USB menu ....(to save me going in through the menus ) ...but the above list of options seems (aside from Random) totally pointless ....

I use mine for the Traffic Announcement function. I can then control it rather than have to wait for the station to switch off it's TA signal.

Annoying that isnt it when they wait until half way through the next song to turn it off , however all you have to do is press the EXIT button to revert to the station you were listening to ...

Very annoying - sometimes you can miss a good portion of the original broadcast you were listening to before you got interrupted.

I got so fed up with having to keep adding and removing the TA function that I decided to shortcut it with MyKey. I prefer it this way as I can then decide when to switch on the TA function too as I only really use it for motorway driving. Doing it via the menu system is a bit long-winded.

Press EXIT on the keypad and that kills the traffic announcement .... until the next one.

Hope it helps

Is it possible to display what the current saved option for this button is?
