Thanks

I don't think its possible (even with OBDEleven) on the 2017s. The 2018's just remember the last screen you were on.

2017 Q7 does exactly the same - remembers the last screen.

My 2017 doesn't. August 16 build.

Weird... I have never even thought about that it can be different. Not sure what to say - gotta be some coding?

If you put it on full screen map it will come back to a different screen (Don't remember which) when you start it next time, I'd always keep full size map if it would stay there.

I just went out to lunch and tested both Map settings on the dash screen, If you turn the vehicle off with the full screen map it defaults back to the screen that shows the Q7, if you leave it with the map just in the center of the screen, tachometer and speedometer full size on both side, it defaults back to time and date in the center once you restart it.

Answer depends on whether you are taking about the Virtual Cockpit screen or the center MMI screen.

For the VC, you can disable some of the tabs using OBD11 if you never use those tabs, but I don't think you can make it remember the last viewed tab (2017).

Apologies for reviving this thread from the crypt. I have a 2018 S5 Prestige, and my virtual cockpit always starts in the car info screen, even though I always have it manually set to the nav/map screen when turning off the ignition. What is the secret to get ot to remember the nav/map screen??

Your question might be better asked in the S5 forum. But as far as I know, while you can disable screens, there is no way to change which screen the VC starts up on.
