Hi everyone. I'd like to ask few things before I'll go to Slovakia and back. In general... First some advices etc. If is here someone experienced with longer journeys.. And these two photos. 1. When is seat heating on and when it's off? 2. What is that 1-6 settings on wipers lever? Thank You.

the wiper is the alternate speed settings, probably more like timer setting, so when on alternative wipe you can set the duration in between wipes, so example every couple seconds (fast) or 10secs (slow)

If you mean auto rain sensing wipers, yes it basically works the same but adjusts the sensitivity rather than just speed

The funniest part was of course - Germany 3:) - GPS speed meter showed 199km/h (125mph) and it was maximum it should display. But I had to brake then. I think there still was reserve to reach up to 140mph easily.
Sounds good, I think the limiting factor is when the car runs out of rpms in 5th, which is around 7k if you have cams but will be lower if the car is standard. If there was a sixth gear it would definitely have a higher top speed as it feels like there's loads left. I didn't go that fast when I was on the autobahn, it was a busy time and some of the driving was like a bad track day so I stayed out of it.
