Audi Guy(?), Yay !!!
I'm considering getting out of my M235i and back into an Audi S car (had 3 different S4 version - turbo, V8 and S6). Looking for an S3, '16 or '17.
I can't seem to find the answer to this.
I saw the S3 when it first came out and I
think I remember the salesman finding a setting that relieved this particular issue. (See post 38 in this link ----->) -

As I'm sure you know the S3 (and earlier my '12 S4) has no radio preset
buttons (a HUGE mistake IMO as after the steering wheel and foot pedals it would seem to me that the next
most often used controls in the car would be the radio presets (but what do I know ?)
But there is a toggle switch to "seek" the next station, up or down, in the presets. OK, can't go directly from preset 2 to preset 7, which is annoying but doable so long as you don't have that many presets,,,,,,,,,,,,
So there are 2 "modes" for the radio seek button. "ALL stations (in the current band) mode" or "Presets mode".
The radio, upon a "cold" start of the car, "forgets" the driver left the car with the radio in "preset" mode and preset mode has to be set up again (note: NOT the preset stations themselves - it remembers those). Whenever the car is left for more than 15(?) minutes, when next started the radio "mode" is "ALL Stations".
As mentioned above I think I remember a setting in the MMI(?) that forces the presets to ALWAYS be activated upon re-start.
True ? If so, where would it be hiding and what years MMI would have the new/corrected version ?
TIA
