I have officially tried everything I can think of to get a seat/mirror/steering wheel setting to save.

I had a 2005 Honda Pilot that did this better.

WTF Audi?

Did you set two profiles? His and hers for example, and locked the car with both keys? I had the exact same as you, and after searching on here, found a post and followed it, will try and find it again and tag you. But i understand the frustration as i had it for around 3 weeks.

This is what i did roughly...
Here is what you do. Go into the car and set up everything how you like it then lock it using your key fob. Now have your wife go to the car with her key, open the door but do not start the car. In the virtual cockpit, scroll down using the left thumbwheel on the steering wheel and select switch profile and select profile 2. Now she can start the car and change everything to her settings. After she locks the car with her key, it will remember her profile and your key will remember yours.

Another way to do this is to just start the car, bring down the notification bar on the top MMI screen, select the icon that looks like a person, and then change to profile 2 there. You can also rename the profiles so that on startup the virtual cockpit will say WELCOME "YOUR NAME". The profiles save everything (seat position, radio presets, shortcuts, all settings, etc.).
