Well, I'm not one to disagree but my 2011 is very consistent in that regard, with ONE exception..

If I start the car back up, I will get the same displays / menus / etc. EXCEPT..
SOMETIMES - it seems random - for Current Playback, I will get the same song, but only the "Show Artist" view. Not the list it had when I shutdown. Really rather annoying.

But it pretty much always goes back to whatever displays / menus I was in prior.
Can't say much about other keys - my buddy has a key but rarely drives it.
(usually only does so when they pour me into the passenger seat)

Has not complained about settings, though, and my experience is fairly consistent.

Does it do this to you every time or just sometimes?
