Here's one I have been trying to replicate.... somehow I managed to get the climate screen up on the mib by pressing SOMETHING on the steering wheel.

Interesting.... but how on earth did i do it?

Heated steering wheel button? I've actually been doing this method as soon as I get in as a different way to 'sync' the climate.
(quickly after the Brocky lane assist method)
Dont know why but find the mode and clima buttons hard to press whilst on the move.

Oh you could be right about the heated steering wheel button!

And yes all of the buttons on the screen and under it are too far away. That's why they are hard to press accurately.

Maybe the only testers vw had was Mr Tickle?

Does the sync not hold from when you were previously in the car?

Not on mine, seems some software versions it might but not on mine.

It definitely doesn't on mine, either.  Neither does the Rear setting.

Additionally, neither does the heated wheel setting.  The manual says that you hold it down to get it to remember the setting but mine just switches to the next level in the cycle and then still kicks in at level 3 upon the next start-up.

So what does the temp revert to?

Does the drivers side retain  the last temperature ?

[fredgroves]

Can't say I've noticed.

I've got it set to the same value for left and right without using sync.
