Mk7.5 Stop/Start

[Rudedog]

I turn mine off with the button as part of my routine before I move off.

Just doesn't feel right that I can come off the motorway and at the first slip-road junction it stops still with a red hot engine.

As s/s is combined with the camera the one issue seems to be that in traffic no sooner have you stopped it restarts as the cars in front move off.

It’s a DSG problem. 
I was quite happy when I had a manual car.
The main gripe is the unpleasant and obtrusive way it kicks in and out sometimes. And unpredictability which is absent with a manual.
You can only really understand this if you have owned both.

fit a front and rear dashcam connected to your fuse box and that'll stop your stop/start working.

I would expect it to work if you've just been on a long motorway journey as the battery will be fully charged. Stop/start isn't combined with a camera, it works with the adaptive cruise system where the camera brings you to a halt and then restarts.

Really what I am asking members is …..
What bad things might happen if I disconnect the wire?
Simple as that.

As others have said the wire isn't just for stop/start. I really don't get why a simple press of the button when you start the car is such a major issue for you that you want to disconnect something. If you really want to stop it why don't you try and find out how VW have set the Clubsport S system up. It's turned off automatically at start up instead of turned on.

Yes, but for me this is now a bit of an educational question.
What bad things can happen ( apart from me being lazy)?

A revo remap turns it off automatically at start up

Simple as that.

Your battery sensor won't be plugged in so you won't get a low battery notification if it goes down, that's about it.

But start/stop will eat into your starter motor life technically and that's probably about it as well.

Reviving this old chestnut…..
Can S/S be disabled using OBD on a my2018 GTI?
And, can it be set to default as disabled with the ability to switch it on manually via the button? In other words reverse the standard default on starting up?
Finally, any tips to offer on the whole process using OBD?

apparently the Clubsport S as standard had SS turned off and then you could press the switch to turn it on.

Yes
No
It’s pretty straightforward to use
