Took me awhile to fine it too! According to my receipt, this is the pouch in case anyone else is interested.

Google turns up no hits for images. Do you have a picture by any chance?

Not so much Easter eggs, but more so the quirkiness of the car and stuff that bothers me occasionally:

a) When you put the car in cruise and then you disengage the cruise by hitting brakes, the instrument panel continues to show the last cruise speed. Some may think of it as a feature but it is kind of annoying for me.

b) I used a 16 gb card and added about 6 gb of songs. It takes 60-90 secs for the card to load.

c) If you have an Iphone with ios 6 and if you are using Google maps for voice navigation, you will be able to hear the directions on you car speakers as long as bluetooth is connected. It is weird that bluetooth works only for the navigation app (not for music), but is cool at the same time.

d) No Aux port to connect my android device for streaming music/pandora without buying extra cables.

e) As soon as ignition is turned off after I come home, the radio turns off as well. Really dislike this feature because you cant keep your engine on and waste fuel just to listen on to the radio. Some American cars have functionality that radio stays on till doors open. I wish that was the case here.
Earlier in the thread someone mentioned that volume button will turn on the radio with no key in ignition. I guess that could work for me.


I have a 2012 P+ w/o nav.

Braking is just a "cancel", so hitting "resume" on the stalk will take you back to the previous speed. Makes sense that the set speed will still be displayed, though is there any other indicator that cruise is active (vs. just "on")?

As you saw mentioned, you can turn the radio on with the car off (stays on for around 20 minutes then turns itself off). Does require an extra step from you, but works.

Older VAG cars left the radio on until you took the key out of the ignition, but that was a simple use of the metal key blade to complete a circuit. I'm not sure if they have anything like that these days, or a way to request the ignition to go from ON to ACC instead of straight to OFF with the newer ignition style (or the start/stop button). Probably not with the added complication of determining driver intent when they aren't having to physically turn something to a defined position.

On the '13 (3.0T with NAV MMI and Smartkey) the radio stays on until you exit the car.

Thanks for the picture. I went to the car to look for a "pouch" upon first hearing about it and didn't see anything. I think I do recall seeing this little area though. Will go looking for it again.

What's especially scary is when you had your cruise set to 130 and you accidentally bump it with your knee when you're on the off ramp

Not that we would ever be in that situation. Hypothetically speaking, right?

EDIT: Nevermind you probably mean km/h. I was thinking 130mph lol
