Golf mk7: Auto Start/Stop disable switch - who wants to help?

[ozmale]

G,day Don,
I didn't mean "active" in any disrespectful way, its just that the last post was some time ago so wondered if your gadget had somehow over time become redundant.
I am an electronic engineer myself (worked for Telstra for 40 years) but sadly a medical condition prevents me from welding a soldering iron with any accuracy these days.
Thus my next question was if anyone is building your device for sale?
Thanks for the "Kufatec" link, it obviously does the job but there is no real indication from the site if the unit needs to be permanently plugged into the ODB port. This would be undesirable.
I prefer an external solution, thus your device.

From what has been said in other threads on this site, you only need to connect the Kufatec device for a minute or so, and can then remove it entirely. Each time it is connected it toggles auto stop/start from on to off, or from off to on. It can only be used on one car, so no fixing everyone's cars with the one device.

Chris: sorry to read about the medical condition. I still have sufficient bits in the junk box to put together another device (I think). If you want to use an auto SS kill switch, PM and we can arrange the details

I have the kufatech module and used it on my car with no issues at all easy to use can use it multiple times on the same car (it locks to the 1st car its used on)
You don't need to leave it plugged in to the obd port
Much better imo than soldering stuff into your car!

Kachingg,
Thanks heaps for clearing up my concern about if the device needed to be left plugged in. If I can I will use "Don's" device as my preference ATM. From the "Kufatech" site its $50 plus $25 delivery. Don't have a problem with the $50 cost but $24 to deliver charge is a rought. The device would fit into a $2 post pack.

Np at all mate 24 bucks for delivery is steep it cost me 74 with delivery but to me well worth it

rought != rort
