Default 2003 Ignition switch behavior

Still getting acquainted with my 2003 (previously owned a 1997). On my 97 the radio would stay on as long has the key was in the ignition, but on the 2003 it is turned off when the engine is stopped. Can this behavior be changed by VAG coding ? or is this behavior due to the mechanical design of the switch ?

Haven't figured out a VAG code to do this, but the radio will turn on without key in ignition.

Default Has anyone noticed that you turn the key at a sort of wierd angle compared to other cars?

It seems like you start turning the key at the point where you should be already at the end of the turn, if you follow what I'm saying.
