Only the tone and volume alert level can be adjusted through the MMI. There may be some way of changing the alert and graphics distance parameters with VCDS but I've not read of anyone actually trying to do it.

I had my car brought in because it wouldn't start, they fixed that issue, but i am wondering if it went back to default. I called the dealer and they told me that sometimes if the sensor is dirty, it will not work properly but they had washed my car. The tone sounds different and the sensitivity is way off than the way i had it before.

Also, i mentioned that when i go start the car it hesitates for 2 seconds and they told me some cars do that in the cold, do you find that to be true?
