Default Trying to figure out something on infotainment center, 2014 C7

2014 Corvette
I know how to set up radio FM station favorites. When I was talking with a Chevy sales person, he was able to put phone contacts and navigation destinations like my address in as favorites. When I replaced the battery I lost all favorites except my FM stations. I can’t figure out how to re-assign the phone and navigations to favorites.
Need some help.

Interesting, I've never lost anything on the screen due to a battery change or a removal of the negative lead on my battery. Sorry, I can't help on this one.

I too lost them last week after a battery change and could not remember how to replace them. I went to YouTube and found a short video on how to do it....

Very simple.... Steve

Be aware storing your address will reveal that to anyone who is in your car if they look. Tons of movies of people figuring out where the "rich" people live from their car's favorites.

I am in Cyber Security, so i get paranoid about these things.

I don’t expect to have anyone in the car I can’t trust. Good point, however.
‘I guess I’lll have to look again on YouTube although I’m not sure what to ask for as I’ve already tried and can’t find anything other than radio station favorites storage.

Especially true if someone steals your car. They also have your built-in garage door opener.

I have a major intersection in the general area of my home stored - enough to allow my GPS to get me out of unfamiliar locations.
