Idrive 9 widgets?

Mikie · 11-30-2024, 03:46 PM

Has anyone figured out how to add widgets to the home screen?

I just want music and weather together, but seems if I want weather, I get the clock and music comes with GPS search.

I have been searching, either too new or you just can't do it.
Anyone figured it out, seems it changed with Idrive 8.5, then 9.

I assume the ID9 in the 25 X3 works similarly then in the 24 x1. To get shortcuts added you need to press & hold on the center screen icon you’re interested in. After a brief time screen will ask if you want to add as a shortcut. Once it’s & others are added to shortcut you can move them around as you can do with a smart phone.

To access SHORTCUTS there’s a small white portion in the center screen you’ll need to swipe downward.

Good luck.
