I am unsure if some you have already worked this one out.  But there is a way of creating shortcut (widgets) to quickly access favourite options of the Infomtainment screen without having to navigate through multiple screens / with fewer presses of the screen.

If you are interested in trying it out watch the you tube link below:

Since it's a multimedia infotainment system, you'd have thought that having a couple of tutorial videos installed by VW would have been possible.  Instead you've got to decipher the user manual.

Yes and it's only from a select list of functions, not just anything.

Do real people who drive on the public roads actually disengage ESC?
I’ve never switched it off. With so much power and the unpredictability of what’s coming the other way around the next bend is never risk it. Am I missing something?
Yeah I’ve played with VAQ settings in the past but actual safety aids I tend to leave alone.
