Never timed mine, but it stays on way longer than 5 minutes.

Mine stayed on for 10 minutes. It was about how long it took for me to start to not notice it was doing it. If there is a way to adjust the time, it will be in VCDS.

2011 and 2015 owner's manual says massage function cycle lasts approximately 10-minutes. Pretty sure the cycle limitation is intended to keep you from getting too relaxed to the point of losing your focus of the roadway. Not sure why the passenger seat would have the same 10-minute cycle---there are times I'd love something to aid the passenger to nod off. LOL!!!

Don't mind the 10 minutes on massage so much and understand it is what derfA8L pointed out, but the 10 minute limit on the high heat setting really makes me unhappy! My Ford Expedition will stay on the high heat setting all day long if I wish but 10 minutes at a time is all I can get in my A8L and then have to go through the whole sequence again. Don't you just love corporate attorneys!

yea they suck. My d3 would get (what felt like) 1000 degrees and you;d melt into the seat. Which we LOVED.
