Don’t get the issue, pressing a little button every time you start the car isn’t really difficult?

Agree. Pressing the button to switch off stop start is part of my normal starting procedure. It very quickly becomes second nature to do it without even thinking about it.

I got one of these for £12, works like a charm:

Just ordered one off eBay. Cheers

Do you have a link to the ebay one??

The guy gave me a refund as he had duplicated the ad and had already sold it :sad:. So, gunna try the AliExpress one instead.

100% will do! I am purchasing it tomorrow. I think it is part of Alibaba, so it may take a while to get here. Although, I have purchased from the Chinese companies before and they have always been great!

The lead has arrived... well arrived a week ago, but the Mrs forgot to tell me. Looks very good quality and feels robust. I will try and get it installed by the weekend and take a few pics and let you know if it works. :smiley:

Bypass Lead works. Took about 3 minutes to install. Seems to be working fine  :grin: Battery connector has been plugged back in. It is a bit more fiddly to remove the buttons on the left than in the Golf R... More space to get your fingers under to pop it out in the R for some reason.

Lambo Engine start button cover... because it was £0.99 and I was bored during lockdown and also, it's pretty cool! :grin:

Messy car... Zero excuses. However, the outside is looking very glossy and clean!

I have a friend with a 2017 R & he disconnected the plug at the battery the day he bought it.

The car has done almost 80,000 miles & is still on the original OEM battery.
