Easy Entry Feature - Inconsistent Functioning
I have the easy entry feature turned on in MMI, and it always works (steering wheel raises) when I turn the car off. But, it does not work consistently when I re-start the car - sometimes in lowers to my saved setting, sometimes it stays raised.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks!

Well, it is comforting to know I am not alone with this problem, but it would be more comforting if the problem was gone!
I just hit 400 miles on the car so it will be awhile before I inquire with the dealer about troubleshooting this. It isn't a big deal.
I am more baffled by the ghosts in my Ipod set-up - I don't use playlists, so I want my Ipod set for "Purchased" with random playback. Sometimes the random feature goes away on its own, and sometimes the playlist switches to "90's Music." Weird, and frustrating. This will cause me to figure out sooner than later how to put all of music on an SD card to leave in the slot - that seems to be the best solution from what I have read on here.
Thanks for the replies!

Nope. Definitely not that. Also, when it happens, I just hold the Memory 1 button until the wheel is back down to it's proper preset position.

Same and same for me. I have only used one key since I got the car. And holding the Memory 1 button for 3 seconds is easy enough and why I don't consider this a big deal (though disappointing for such an expensive car!).

I have found that if I hold the Start button for an extra second or two, the steering wheel moves back into place more consistently. So it is almost like a very quick/release of the Start button doesn't wake up the Easy Entry feature.
I will continue this approach and report back - anyone else experiencing the inconsistency, please try this as well.
Thanks.

Just some added input...
We have a 2008 Q7 that has the older, 2-button, Advanced Key option. When turning off the vehicle, you can press the off button once and it shuts the vehicle off. If you press it again, and hold for a second it locks the steering wheel and it retracts. When restarting the car, the wheel seems to come down to memory setting with much more consistency.
Not really sure if this is the same with the 2012s since they have just one button. Maybe its the same with a quick one-press, or a second count hold.
