Default Lower display customization

Hi All, I'm curious if it's possible to program and customize the top row buttons of the lower display. There are multiple 'empty' buttons available to customize on the top row. Ideally, it's programmable similar to my BMW iDrive.

Press the second button from the left, it looks like three rectangles with an arrow. That opens up the display and you can bring anything down from the top display that you like. On mine I have several radio stations, GPS home, and a button to deactivate the auto-stop brake.

Not that I know of. I have tried on-and-off since I took delivery ( last May)
you can only program the "pull-down" ones.

When you press the "deactivate auto-stop brake" button, is the feature reactivated after some period of time, or on restart, or ... ?

Okay. So, it cannot be done. Those empty unassigned buttons are a huge waste of valuable screen real estate.

That whole bottom screen is a huge waste of space. It’s a nice hardware setup rendered largely useless by their lack of imagination and software UI design skills.
