Idrive Feature request - return to Home Screen.

It would be nice to have a setting that you can enable and pick from a list of durations to return to the Home Screen automatically. For realz.

Isnt there a "home" button? I think returning to Home Screen when you're trying to follow the Navigation - or select youur media source for that matter -would be very annoying.

Yes, I thought the same thing. Why would that be a useful function...? There is a home button...

Well maybe not when you are in navigation mode, or have the option to. However I have my Home Screen setup as good as it can be with all the information and widgets provided, even when navigating. I'm more thinking of why keep it in climate control once you have made an adjustment and haven't touched the screen in X amount of seconds, or why stay in the apps menu if the screen hasn't been touched in X amount of time too. IMO the whole reason there is a Home Screen that provides key information and widgets like; navigation, time, tele, media, vehicle status, etc is that you have all that info available to see in one spot on a screen that is probably intended to be the screen most folks keep it on or else why call it home? Call it the screen of no return. Pressing a button is what it is, but if you don't press the home button there should be instances where it just returns to home. Look, the car can drive itself, but's not smart enough to have this setting? pft.

Yeah, there's definitely some views like climate control where I'm there to do one thing and don't need to stay. A "go home after n inactive seconds" for those would be nice.
