Hi,
Every time we switch the car ignition on, it reverts back to the default driving mode, how do we force the car to remember the last driving mode ? It’s so annoying, I need it to stay on ‘range” driving mode.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

It's not a Born thing, It's a VAG thing - has happened on every VW or Audi i've had since 2013.
The driving mode choice reverts to a certain one, or if it doesn't, the responses within the selected mode revert to a default e.g. on my old Golf R, I used to leave it in "Race", and it would still be in Race for next ignition cycle, but the throttle response was as per "normal" mode unless I cycled out of it and back into it. Probably some EU directive on fuel saving making it default to a certain value. For my E-Boost with the satellite mode buttons on the steering wheel, it's not really a bother for me. If I can get my OBD11 working again, i'll have a poke around for retaining driving mode profiles beyond a single ignition cycle.
