MY23 Polo Start Stop

[2007GTI]

Hi All,

Sorry not a Golf question, but wondered if anyone could help.

A family remember had a 2014 Polo which I disabled the start stop on, with OBDEleven, worked fine for 7 years.

Sold that car, and the same person just bought a MY23 Polo, and the guys on the OBDEleven forum tell me even the Next Gen dongles won't alloy start stop be deactivated, I have to use a physical hardware solution.

I found this video and product for Mk7 Golf

Then found this for MY23 Polo Mk6

Found this one, but only upto MY2019

Just wondered if anyone had fitted one to a Mk6 Polo, and if there is any other recommended ones?

Thanks in advance

The kufac one is only to 2019. Have you tried asking on the vw polo forum?

Yes as I said above, that Kufac is only upto MY2019.

ODBEleven customer support came back and confirmed deffo not possible on Polos after 2020, but they are working on a solution.

I left a message on a Polo forum, but not replied yet, seems its not currently possible.
