Well that explains it, it takes a really long time for the shortcuts to load.

Does anyone else think the key fob buttons are pressed a little too easily? Just outside my office window is where I park my car, and when the key fob is in my pocket and I bump against something, I'm accidentally pressing buttons. Sometimes I look outside and my trunk is wide open! The worst part is that since my car is usually facing me, I can't use the fob to close the trunk (another annoying quirk).
I'm thinking about buying a case for the fob or something that might prevent this.

Yes, this was very annoying when I first got my car. Since I adjusted the setting with OBD it’s never happened again. One of the many nice upgrades you can make with OBDeleven. If you plan on keeping the Q8 more than a couple years OBD11 is a must-have imo.

what is the setting to delay the open? I have come down to the car several times to find it was open over night in my garage.

There's a thread on this. A recent software update fixes the problem and also gives the Q8 a better acceleration feel from stopped. Still a car that is somewhat reluctant to get going, but better. We always turn off the auto stop/start anyway, if I forgot, that stumble was dangerous. I found over 30 complaints on the NHSTA site.
