This is a pretty bizarre move on VW's part... My 2005 Jetta (bought the 5 cyl. as soon as it hit the lot) included this option in the same menu, so why in the world would a more advanced Tiguan (5 yrs later, no less) not include it?
Same issue with some of the light settings: I'd like to change how the int/ext lights come on when I turn off the car, and when I open it by remote, but the options are no longer present in the VW menu.
If any VW reps read this board: a firmware update for scheduled maintenance is really in order for this!
