Trying to find a way to permanently disable/deactivate Auto Start Stop on model year 2024 Atlas. PLEASE do not add comments about your opinions of whether or not this should or should not be done or why. This thread's sole purpose is to discuss finding a solution to permanently disable Auto Start Stop. Unfortunately, start/stop did kick in.

Long story short I bought obdeleven and here how to disable it: Go to "Driver Assistance" -> "Long coding" find "Configuration_for_lane_departure_warning_Kl15" and change it to "Last_setting". This way when you turn of "Lane Assist" in the car menu the lane assist will stay off after you turn the engine off and on again. Hope that helps somebody. With my 2021 OB Touring, I have learned to just toggle the Auto Stop/Start to the "OFF" position every time I start the car. It's no biggie, though it is a bit annoying to do all the time.

Defroster on is one of several conditions that will disable auto start/stop. Or just don’t press on the break hard! Personally, the auto start/stop doesn’t bother me. 1. Disabled, so stop/start works as VW designed it. The module is effectively invisible. 2. Stop/start is turned off every time the car is started, as seen in the above video. 3. Memory mode that remembers how s/s was set last time the car was turned off. For all modes, the s/s button still works as normal, i.e. s/s is not removed from the system. To do this, just remove the one screw that is under the forward most cup holder under the plastic insert; Pull up the center console - start in the back by the sliding door and work your way forward. Once you have the top of the center console up, just unplug the rear most white plug. See photos below. IbsFt said: A dealer will not disable this "feature" for legal reasons, because it is part of the emissions system. The primary purpose of having an auto start/stop system is to game the emissions testing procedure. However, it can be permanently disabled with VCDS, ODB11, or Carista (and maybe other tools too).
