I'm curious to see what others say. I'd be suspicious of the dealer telling you that's how it works, because it doesn't seem right to me. The point of ACC is to set-it-and-forget-it. Having to set it manually each time you start the car is kind of pointless, IMHO.

My Z doesn't have Nav, so I can't add to the debate. My dials stay on Auto between starts.
