Default Documented and Undocumented Features

I think this is undocumented feature:

I believe if you hold the FAN speed button after shutting off the car, it will use engine residual heat to keep the car warm while you are out shopping.

Unfortunately, this is a documented feature here in the US user manual marked with an asterisk*
Automatic door close using the powered door latch.

Another thing to note is that the blinking indicator lever shows the button for Lane Keeping Assist. I would hate this feature and powered door latch feature to appear in 2012.5 A7.


Any other undocumented features you guys are aware of?

Default Window Up/Down using Key Fob

On my A4, I had to do VAG COM to roll up/down the windows using the remote key. Looks like the A7s don't have this feature. Can you guys advise on what to modify in VAG COM to get this feature back?

Thanks

The residual heat feature is mentioned in the manual, though it is not in the index.

If you open the driver's door while in Drive (car running) the parking brake engages.
