My 2015 Q5 keeps the radio on until the door is opened, just like my other cars and 1999 pickup truck. Did not realize you could change this.

This doesn't help me... I have a 2015 Audi A3
And the radio doesn't stay on unless the engine is running

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.

I have the same problem.. When i press the stop button, everything goes off..
I shuts off the entire car.. Even my automatic seat adjustment wont even work anymore until i press the start button again.

This started with me, when i was in the hidden green menu.. I did some adjustments.. And now it's all to hell..
I have put all the tweaks back on before i started changing things, but still it does the same thing..

I really don't know what setting this was..

Hopefully someone comes by here , and can give me the solution.

If one has access to a Vag-Com and ability to access the hidden menus, your post is a good example of how changing settings in that menu can screw up the MMI. One should never make changes in either the hidden menus or Vag-Com options unless you know exactly what you are doing. Not following this advice can permanently trash your electronics. BTW, this thread was over 4 years old.

Green menu?
Sorry guys, that applies to MMI models only, not the base AMI systems, where the menus are ORANGE.
Carista has this option in their beta version right now. The last one didn't work. I haven't had time to check this one yet.

But Carista does allow owners to enable the hidden BATTERY LEVEL meter. Which only measures in 10% increments.
