Thanks and my apologies. I was absolutely certain that this isn't possible and have spent quite some time in various Audi related corners of the internet due to my main (Audi connect) issue - and (seemed to?) remember various inquiries to kill that feature and no one succeeded (some even modded the physical button to remember the last state and reset it that way). Searching again today/with your hints I immediately hit the right settings (temperature thresholds) to set.
