You need to pull the high beam stalk towards the driver after the ignition has been turned off, this activates the coming home feature. I have no idea why this is now set like this, as my 2005 Passat did it completely automatically for you. It does explain this somewhere in the handbook.

You can configure them to come on automatically when it's dark.... but you'll need VCDS (or to find someone with VCDS who can help).

I would say not but I guess it depends on whether you're a geek or not!
