Never seen this before and its not written in anything I have. After 5 minutes of inactivity, the MMI screen has what my tech swears is a screensaver. The time display pops up and overlays the current menu. Anyone else notice this? Seems strange to me as the time is already show at the bottom.

Has never happened to me. I can't remember if there is a menu setting or not....

I like to idle on the nav map screen or the tyre pressure monitor (actually, I wish TPM was linked on the 'spare' top-left MMI button in car screen). If the time kept popping up over the top of everything, that would bug me immensely.

Talking of things Audi <i>should</i> change, I'd love the Systems menu under Car to have a 'status' screen showing oil temp, pressure etc, and be able to also pull a smaller version (perhaps just oil temp) into DIS like the RS 4. The system will have access to the data, it's just a case of needing some code to pull it and display it.

No screen saver on ours.
If screen does its failure to communicate thing, you'll get MMI audi wallpaper, but never seen in normal driving.
Congrats on W12. Love ours. Now about 9-10 here, I think. Not counting our departed tranny dissing brethren ;^)

Never seen it on mine.

I set the clock to 24h time and it no longer pops up. The car was missing the books so I couldn't go back to anything and verify. On another note I think I have a good guess as to the hard downshift that was the cause of commotion. For those of you with tip paddles, if you are in manual mode and forget to downshift (or accidentally hit a paddle on the wheel) the car will jerk down into first when coming to a stop.

So if you set the clock back to the previous setting, does the behaviour return?

Dropped it off this morning to have the certification done, but will play with it tonight and tomorrow.

I will mess with it soon, my wife let me drive it last few days.
Books as you know are huge. Hope you get them.
I use manual and Sport modes a lot, and the downshift really isn't too bad, depends on how fast you stop.
I'll let you know if I get mine to do the screen saver deal.
What does it look like? Audi logo MMI deal?

But this is what it looks like...Time display just pops up in the middle of the screen.
