Two quick questions:
1. Why does the AC and the radio turn on when I start the car even though I have turned them off when I previously shut the car off.
2. When I select Sport or Sport Plus, there's no light indicator on the steering wheel to indicate the mode I am in.

Regarding question 1, read your manual on "Auto Memory". That may be your answer.

Can't help you on #1, I have my car setup to restore the saved settings on the key so that is expected. I think that is a function of the Auto Memory function which I turned off.

On item #2 that is very odd... you should get Sport or Sport Plus indicated on the left side of the wheel in the black space. It can be hard to see in bright light though.

Sport comes on in the lower left of the rev counter in my car (didn't notice that for the longest time...duh!).

Ya that does show for me in the rev counter but not on the steering wheel. Weird. Guess I'll call the dealer tomorrow.

Gorgeous. Love all the alcantara! Especially on the steering wheel and shifter (all I feel I'm missing from mine)

If no "Auto Memory" then that is a function of the vehicle and it is what it is...

Wow, very pretty spec! If you are ever in the Philly area don't hesitate to stop by! I'd love to see it in person.

Multifunction display under vehicle settings/locks, I think. It is in your manual. Before turning it off, you may need to set things like you want them, then lock the door with each key to save those settings on your keys. Then turn ignition back on and turn Auto Memory off and you should not have any issues any longer. I am not positive, but if you just go in and turn Auto Memory off without saving the settings you like on your keys, then every time you unlock your car, the old settings will transfer back to your car.

It's hard to fully explain in a message, that is why I recommend reading the manual regarding the multifunction display and all the settings.

Thanks. That's very helpful. I'll play around with it today. On your GTS, does the sport/sport plus light up on your steering wheel? Mine does not; only on the rev counter.

Regarding Question #2, I am not absolutely certain, but I think the indicator lights on steering wheel for Sport and Sport Plus mode are only for PDK cars. Not sure why they wouldn't be for manual also, but I think they may just be on PDK cars. Mine is PDK and the lights work on mine.

Yea that's what my dealer thinks lol. It's silly. It's the same damn wheel! Why wouldn't it light up? Oh well. Thanks again!
