I don't belive its even possible with VCDS. I think your just have to keep turning it off via the button each time

 

in germany they have developed a small electronic device, that gives one pulse, shortly after the engine is started.
this switches the start/stop off.

 

I'm pretty sure I've seen a start/stop option when using VCDS.

I don't have access right now but a quick google finds this for the A1 so maybe worth a look in the same area. I'll have a proper look next time I have the car hooked up ( I don't have start/stop though so can't check the actual function)

yes, you are completely correct
however, it does not work on a B8 = A4, A5, Q5

 

Cuppa had a go on mine however it didnt work

Why is everyone so annoyed by it? I wish I had it sometimes.

 

Because once at a set of lights it decided not to re-start the engine when the lights changed, missing a complete set plus anoying everyone behind while I manually restarted. Granted this only happened once but is enough to sow the seeds of doubt.

Because although very good in most circumstances, I find on occasion it cuts in at just the wrong moment. The delay it causes is small but noticeable - and if you wanted to go for a gap gives you second thoughts.

It is active in 'Dynamic' mode... not great when you roll up to the lights for a quick get away and because you've pressed the brake pedal just a fraction too hard the engine dies meaning your get away is interrupted (again a small but noticeable pause).

Basically, IMHO, it's good but any tech that should be unintrusive that is noticeable probably isn't doing it's job right...

It's the most used button in my car which isn't right.

 

Agree 100%

 

I'd like to retrofit it

 

If it were possible I'd give you mine!

 

Hey guys. New here.

 

This device fixes the issue on an Audi A5 2013 S-line model. Now every time I start my car it remembers the off state. Bargain for £12 as well

Comes with the radio keys to remove the stereo panel as well where the button was located.

Hope this helps someone else like me. Was driving me mad.
