    Hi folks,

    In the Setup/Vehicle/Maintenance, it has many reminder screens. Should I use it? It seems involving lots of data entries.

    I use it for cute birthday greetings for my wife. Other than that it's not too useful.

    I have set mine up for long term items like replacing cabin and engine air filters.

    Not a lot of data, just mileage or date when next service is needed. A message will pop up on the MID for whichever comes first.

    It's up to you. I put in the stuff that occur further down as a reminder (Such as coolant and wiper blade replacement). I also use one personal slot as a reminder to check the cabin air filter.
