I think its done this way in case you are just getting out for a second to get something, becuase (i think) it is bad to turn on and off and back on HIDs in a short amount of time. 
What if you left them on AUTO instead of ON, does it make a difference?

Leaving the setting on auto will not make a differance. Also you are correct about flashing the hid's, its not too good for the bulb and will shorten it extrelmly long life. Andy you dont really have much to worry about, those HID's take less wattage to run (35watts) then your 00 does so it wont drain the battery. I dont know if the dealer can change that setting, I havnt heard of this be4 so im still

The dealer can change the setting on your car's computer (not the ECU). I think the headlight delay settings are someting like 2 minutes max, 1 minute (default), then immediate off. There was a post about this; I'll try to find it.
