(I also have OBDeleven, by using it you may however only disable the start/stop function)

(poor construction quality maybe)

halfmillion: What an excellent device -it's exactly what I was thinking of doing, but couldn't !!! Big kudos to the inventor.

Can you still get the parts for this unit? If so, I'm more than happy to build it for you

Yes, I suspect that SloAu is referring to either the Voltage method tweak, or the Temperature method tweak for disabling Stop Start. It's an OK method if you only want to disable SS and if you are prepared to tolerate the "tell-signal" on the MDF every time that the car stops

If you volunteer...I'm more than happy

I may either send you components via mail, or eventually buy them on the web using a local (australian) ecomm company and have them delivered to you (maybe it is faster). Your choice!

That looks fantastic. Nice layout. obviously a pro. Do you want to make one up for me.This Auto Engine Stop is driving me crazy.
How much would you charge to make one for my 2017 transporter ?
I know lots of people who want to buy one of these.

^^^ frimpiny: Hi. There's been a hiccup getting the components - apparently sourcing the PC board at a reasonable price has proven to be problematic for halfmillion. So, no progress !!!

Many thanks to DV52 (and others).
My circuit has been installed for approx. 6 months now and makes the car far safer.
DSG with stop/start is incredibly dangerous in my opinion.
Yes, you can always try and remember to press the button...
I also agree that VW should have coded the car to remember the last setting or provided a disable option in the car settings menu.
oh, well it was a lovely little project and works perfectly for me.

For those who aren't handy with the soldering iron, I can turn the stop start off now with the software tweak on any model. It takes only 5-10 minutes and it's done over the OBD2 port, no need to remove anything.
