Disable Stop/Start for free in seconds.

Just found this gem that disables stop start. Got a bit excited, so thought I would would share. Apologies, if this is already common knowledge. Like me, I know most people hate the stupid stop/start system. Rather than pay to have it coded out or buy an OBD Eleven, I found this works! 

Just unplug the battery maintenance module. (No idea if this affects warranties).

Been discussed a few times but it's not advisable to disconnect it. Can't remember if it's something to do with the car now not knowing the state of charge of the battery. Much easier to just press the button each time you get in the car.

Ahh okay. I just do a tonne of driving and getting in and out a lot... it's annoying. When I forget to turn it off, it jerks forward hard and feels unhealthy on the car... and is annoying ha

Yes, it's to do with battery management and charging and disconnecting it is not advisable.

You'd be better off with one of those memory module things which remembers the last state of the start/stop button, basically once pressed to disable it remembers that state even when the ignition cycled.

Do you have a link to the ebay one??

[symonh2000]

I did mine with Carista. Although still technically still on it never operates as the system thinks that the battery isn't charged enough.

I wonder if you could link the switch to the ignition start switch so when you started the car it turned off the stop/start, no would need to be short to earth switches tho,
