Thought i'd resurrect this post.... Can anyone confirm if this works? Can we permanently turn off stop/start?

It should be working, the Kufatec products are usually reliable.

Isn't there a thread somewhere (I'm sure I saw it) where you can VCDS code out the stop-start? Adaptation of something to set operating temps (for the engine) for when the function will and wont work and then setting the threshold high enough that it never kicks in.

Thats free, thus better .....

Or unplugging the battery module?

Anyone have a VCDS cable in Perth or WA that they're willing to let me use/show me how to use? Happy to compensate for time spent

Also there are some mk7 vehicles like mine that won't accept the temperature codings. There is an alternative method now where you set battery voltage thresholds. concept is similar, set the low battery threshhold high enough so autostart won't kick in.

Easier solution - Polo 6C GTI: How to Disable Engine Start/Stop - YouTube - it works the same for Golf 7

hmm..........nothing wrong with Kufatec unit, but cheaper solution, without needing to use a diagnostic cable and without the "tell" that appears on the MFD when the car stops (i.e. the dreaded "A" with a slash) HERE

I've been using mine for 2 x years now - never missed once - every time I switch-on the ignition, the SS Auto-kill switch turns off Start Stop and I can re-engage it easily at any time in my journey by simply pressing the SS witch on the console (not that I have ever done this - I reckon SS is the most dangerous thing in the car!)

PS: For those that have an earlier model mk7, the "Voltage method" shown in SloAU video won't be available - instead \, you will need to use the "temperature method" - see HERE
