Default Remember this, but not that?

We love our Q5. Have had it for two months and enjoyed every mile so far.

In getting to know the car, some lapses in 'logic' have come up - at least they seem illogical to me.

An example - why can the car 'remember' that you left the heated front seats on (and they're still on when you restart the car), but cannot remember that you prefer the Jukebox to play in SHUFFLE mode? It can remember the radio stations you've preset, but the radio defaults to PRESETS OFF each time you turn the radio back on.

I know it's just a matter of hitting a couple of buttons to put things back where you want them, but...the car could remember these things, easily.

I wonder why it's not set up to do so.

Any others, anyone?

This one drives me CRAZY! It almost seems like an error in programming as it just makes no sense at all.

The presets and shuffle issues are very annoying.

I wish there was a voice command to shuffle... (is there?)

Agree on both counts...I'll ask next time I'm at my dealer to see if they can be changed.

Ditto on this. I find it most annoying! Also the Nav not defaulting to the map screen when you first hit the Nav button.
