You'll also notice the icon on the button now shows the screen with a power symbol. Previously, it showed the screen with an arrow, meaning retraction. I saw this in an s3 test drive this weekend. My dealer said it was a running change on April and later built cars, and also said it would be applied retroactively to previous cars.
The good news is: if it can be patched via software to make that switch power the screen instead of retracting it, then it can also be un-patched
Just need someone to figure out how!

Did you get your before April this year? I got mine last week and it doesn't go up and down from the button. Only when turning on and off

So why even have it retract at all if new models don't let you retract during driving? Seems like a legacy feature now gimped by regulation.
Personally I love the option to put the screen away while driving.

Personally, I would like to have the button to let you lock the screen in the up position so the screen doesn't go up and down everytime - just like those old pop up headlights where you can have them stay up even when they're switched off.

So I guess when I finally do sell my car (sometime out in the future) I can list that mine as having an ADDITIONAL feature not on other new RS3's.
Everyone, thanks for clarifying about the April "regulation" or I would have been majorly confused..

russbert: You'll have to take your car in for service sometime. They'll catch at that time when they do map or system updates!! Button did not retract the screen in my new RS3 while driving either. Thought there might be a setting for that but haven't had time to look. Now I know the real story. Thanks all for sharing this info.
