Agreed.  The #1 complaint from my folks: "That #$@!ing disclaimer I  
have to acknowledge!"  If we can find someone with the CAN-bus VAG- 
COM, that's getting removed ASAP.

If you press "setup" (I think?) on the CC head, you then get an MMI  
menu for stuff like whether the unit goes into auto-recirculation  
mode.  Except...the MMI controller does bupkus.  It took us 5 minutes  
of flipping through the manual (never found anything) and fiddling  
before we realized we were supposed to use Mini-MMI on the CC head.

Isn't that what the buttons surrounding the MMI knob are for?  I  
haven't used it -that- much so I don't recall off the top of my head.

The bigger complaint from my folks with the radio (aside from the  
asinine disclaimer stuff) has been that too many keypresses are  
involved to get to the memory screen.  The rightfully argued that the  
entire point of the "memory" function is quick and easy access to  
favorite stations, but the "dynamic station list" is always the  
default main page of the radio.
