Default Odd electronic issues

I am curious if it is just me but there some odd things that happen in the S6:
- Sometimes the seat comes way forward and the wheel moves up (assume for easy entry) but doesn't move back unless you hold the seat setting. The easy entry happens in bursts only 1-20 times.

- Most times I get in the car the volume is all the way to zero.

- The auto rear window screen will stay active for about 5 days and then just stays down until I remember to hit the button to raise it again.

- The settings for what I want between the tac and speed resets to computer data every time I start the car.

- Pushing the driver lock button on the drivers door seems to do nothing

- Audi connect fails connecting in streaks even when the signal shows full

- Before I set my home address to "Home" the navigation could never figure out a way to get there

There may be more but that is all off the top of my head. Is anyone else experiencing these or others? Do we think this stuff is the result of MMI upgrade and little user testing?

Mine doesn't move like that but every once in a while randomly the lumber massage thing pushes out even without the massage function on (comfort seats)

- Most times I get in the car the volume is all the way to zero.
same here

haven't tried to leave mine up so not sure

- The settings for what I want between the tac and speed resets to computer data every time I start the car.
mine will keep speedo or short term memory but will never stay on nav

- Pushing the driver lock button on the drivers door seems to do nothing
Mine works fine

- Audi connect fails connecting in streaks even when the signal shows full

- Before I set my home address to "Home" the navigation could never figure out a way to get there

Never had any of these issues, although I've had a "home" nav entry since forever so I'm not sure if there would have been issues before I plugged it in.

in my '13 when I open the door with the engine off the steering wheel moves up but the seat stays in the same position, when I turn on the car the steering wheel lowers.

There is a button to in the MMI under seat settings to sync it to your remote, check or uncheck it. It will transfers all setting to the FOB when you lock or unlock.

Default Home

Isn't it a bad idea to set "home" to your actual home address. Anybody who jacks your car will know where home is and if they happen to also get your car key....

Default Radio presets behaving oddly

Perhaps it's user error but I keep having to redo the presets as they keep getting undone or mixed up. Not like the reset completely but rather the stations move around or disappear.
