I still miss this feature; whether it’s a bug or a missing feature may be open to debate.
News: In the second installation (a few months ago), and now with iodéOS 7.5, I used the same settings again – and to my surprise, no more problems! Very happy!
As I mentioned earlier, that was with the first installation and a different car (a Toyota Auris), and I no longer have any problems.
I’ll mark this as resolved for my part. Thanks to everyone who contributed their thoughts.
