Is it possible? I adjusted it before "weak" "normal" "strong". But I couldn't find a way to disable it.

This is why my GTI was in for an XPEL clear bra two days after I bought it. Not a single chip or ding. Worth the extra money for the protection it provides.

That's a very easy VAG-COM tweak:
Module 09, Central Electrics:
ZV Komfort:
Freigabenachlauf FH bei Tueroeffnen abbrechen:
change from "not active" to "active"
It translates as "Cancel the freewheeling FH at door opening". I don't know what "FH" refers to (F = Fenster = window?), but it cancels the power to the windows after key out and door open. It's active by default.

FH = Fensterheber = "window lifter"
Freigabenachlauf = Release the ability to run after Tueroeffnen = door opening abbrechen = cancel
So something like "Cancel the ability to provide power after opening door"

Thanks. Google translate isn’t quite there yet.
Also, I meant to say, change from active to inactive. I stated the reverse.
I use Griot's Garage Speed Shine (Quick Detailer) to clean off bugs, etc. after I go for a drive in the country. It has lots of lubricants in it so you can use it to clean the paint without worrying about scratching the finish with your microfiber towel. Great stuff!
What kind of sealant are you using? If you can, post some pictures of the marks.
I'm using Meguiar's Ultimate liquid polymer wax, but I've also used Collinite 845 and Griot's One Step Sealant.

Not being able to change the “Source” for audio from your steering wheel.

Yeah, this one bugs me too. I could do that on both of my Mazdas whose steering wheel controls dated back 11 years prior to the MK7's.

The engine auto start stop function that can't be turned off permanently. Every time I start the car I have to also click on the auto start stop button to disable it. I'm a courier in Phoenix and the last thing that I want is the engine shutting off when it's 115 degrees at every stoplight. OBDeleven said they would work on a way to turn it off permanently.

As far as I know, without coding changes, that is how all start/stop systems work. You have to manual disable them every time you start the car. Also the system uses information from a bunch of different sensors, and won't activate unless it is "safe" to do so. If you are running A/C and it is hot out, it shouldn't shut off, and if it does, it will start again once the climate control system senses vent temps get too warm. Some users have reported that it doesn't always work as intended though.
