What do you use the diamond button for?
I like the idea of a customizable button on the wheel, but I have no idea what I would use it for. I'd like to know what some of you are using it for.

The diamond button on the steering wheel is a 'Customisable' function (Driver selected, through the PiVi screen.)

That was one I was thinking about until I set my stop start disable to remember it’s last setting.

So you’re saying the diamond button can’t be set to auto stop start disable?

I just sat down in my defender and, while I didn’t find auto stop start, the list is a whole lot longer than what’s in the manual. Mostly in the app launch section. I found a few I might try out.

I’m new to this, so I don’t know when they added app launch.

I also went with cameras for short press. Currently long press is dynamic. I’ll prolly change that, as I don’t see using dynamic much.

I’m surprised they didn’t make that button much more flexible.

Yes you can set it to disable stop/start. l know there's a button to do that next to the shift lever but l find the steering wheel one more convenient.

l also set it to mute the audio.

I use it to switch to 360 camera - I tend to end up in tight spaces a lot driving in the city and find it useful to be able to switch immediately whilst trying to negotiate a tricky spot.

and

Long push = change source between DAB and Spotify. If the radio is crap I frequently move to spotify.
