Audi Auto Stop/Start

[Skier]

Ok, this is driving me insane. Does anyone know anyone who can permanently disable this system or make it so that the dash switch to disable it is permanently engaged?

I was really looking for definitive answers rather than probables; there isn't an option in VCDS. I don't like it as it's bloody irritating and the negligible fuel saving (so manufacturers can claim unrealistic mpg and gCO2/km) but I have to pay for excess wear on the starter motor and battery.

The car I'm looking to disable it on is an A4 Avant 3.0 TDI Quattro S-Line. Superb car but this feature really does irritate me. I've done a great deal of Googling and not found a solution yet.

There's a button on the dash to disable the Auto Stop/Start but I'm looking to permanently disable it. It's interesting but I have no issue with the electronic handbrake; it works well for me.

In May I'm having the ECU remapped by MDM Technik in Marlow and have asked if they can look into disabling the Auto Stop/Start whilst they're at it. Here's hoping!

From what I read on Audi-Sport.net this was possible in older Audis but not on the newer ones. Can you point me to a post where someone is reporting that they have successfully achieved this? Many thanks.

For anyone interested I've just received the following:

Gentlemen, I have done following changes trough VCDS yesterday and I can confirm Start/Stop is disabled every time I start the engine. "LED light stays ON" Thanks to audiinut.

- Go to Module 09-Cent. Elec.
- Enter Security Code (shown up by default) (mine was 20113)
- Go to Adaptation, Type Channel 34 and hit Read button, it should show the factory default number in value window.
- Subtract 4 from factory default number/value to disable Start&Stop every time engine is started. "Worked for my car"
- Add 32 to the factory default number/value it remember last status "This did not work on my car, but you can try"
- Test & Save
