Fingerprint start question

I have a question for Audi A8 owners (or anyone who can help me out). How exactly does the fingerprint start button work (also known as one-touch-memory) ???

In the mmi menu (car/systems/drivers seat memory) I found 2 options:
1) key-memory (or something like that) with on/off option
2) one-touch-memory with on/off option

I cannot select the "on" function for the one-touch-memory option (I tried switching the key memory off, but still no luck).

I have two users set (both users fingerprinted). The only thing that I see happening is that if I start the car, in the users section of the mmi my name is selected, and if my wife starts the car her name is selected (my guess is that it works). But nothing is stored (seat memory, climate control, sound volume etc etc).

Can someone tell me how to set this system up ??

Another question is, is the fingerprint module connected to the immobilizer (this would be great!) or is solely for memory options ??

Any advice/help is welcome.

Thanks and801, but as I said, it does not work... I think in order for it to work properly, I should be able to activate the one-touch-memory option through my MMI, which I cannot. I have two other friends with the fingerprint option installed, and they have the same problem ](*,) we cannot select the "on" option for the one-touch-memory option :-k

and801 I have a second question: after memorizing your print, where you the only one able to start the car?? (is there any way to activate this option?)

Thanks again for your help.

and801: I attached a picture of the one-touch-memory option that I have on my MMI (car/system/drivers seat). I think this option has to be set to "on" but I cannot switch it on and neither can my friends in there A8's.

As I said in my first post, I fingerprinted my self and my wife(with three fingers each). The car recognizes who starts the car (I can see this in the car/users menu, the name is selected for the person who started the car). But no settings are saved....

I will delete both users and try again, who knows maybe it will work this time around.
