Thanks. That's more info than I can ever get out of the dealership. In anyone's opinion, before I go to that trouble, should this be something the dealership should be able to take care of?
What exactly is VAG COM? Is it the factory scan tool or is it an after market version.

Try this if you have not...it weirdly works in my BRZ and I don't know about the Q5 since mine is currently being built.
Leave the car in Drive when you shut the engine off. Then shift to park. In my BRZ, it's the only way I can keep the radio on when shutting the engine off.

Hey it works!
Thanks so much! I just bought a CPO 2012 Audi Quattro A5 cabriolet and love it, but as I'm sitting here waiting to pick up my son I was trying to figure out how to play the radio without keeping the Engine or any of the other electrical components on I did a Google search and found this forum. I don't like the fact that the music goes off after 15 minutes, but at least now I have a way to listen to the music without draining the battery too bad.

For those who keep asking for a solution, it was provided in posts #16, #19 and #21. You need to buy a Ross-Tech VCDS cable (or mobile version) and use their Vag-Com software to activate the hidden menu. Or have access to someone who has one. Dealers do not use VCDS, they have their own dedicated system, and it's more rare than not if they are willing to change factory software settings.
