Disable Stop/start - VCDS tweak

[by_rom]

2 DV52 Thanks. My apologies. You are right.

I can confirme the voltage method works with 12.12 vcds and golf mk7 2014 1.4 TDI.

kickdown: well done - just so I'm clear, have you tried this successfully on a Golf Mk7? Second question - what about all the adaptation channels in the other control modules (including the CAN Gateway) that were set as if SS was active?? I've not done an exhaustive search, but here are some that I found easily (I'm sure there will be others).

Third question- what the SS settings for the coding on the other control modules - like Byte 8, Bit 4 on the HV AC modue @ address hex 08?

I have tried this and it doesn't stop S/S. There's a few other places where S/S installed is mentioned in long coding so I might try unticking them as well.

Hello, i have one question. It is possible to set as a default value (when car starts for the first time) the start stop function as disabled (the button light is turn on). I would like to go on this method since are times when i want to use the function so I would not permanently disable the function. Thanks

[Yani]

forget it as long as i understand the only method is the DV52 method (nice job by the way) or with a special module. I thought that this would be possible with VCDS

Hi all - I have disabled stop/start via the app on obdeleven. Was just wondering if it would be possible to have the stop/start active in eco mode only?

[DV52]

^^^^^^^^ hmm.......... I'm fairly certain (almost certain) that it's not possible with the VCDS/OBD11/VCP tweaks (both "voltage" and "temperature" methods) to distinguish between "eco" and normal modes.

Remember that these tweaks are "hacks" really that fool the car into believing that SS shouldn't be engaged - they have absolutely zero sophistication!

Don

PS: but I'm happy to be proven wrong

[CraigR]

Cheers Don, I thought that may be the case - would be a good mod though.

I'm amazed that people still try to defeat SSS by tweaking software, paying for OBD dongles etc.

I installed a custom made "DV52 Device" over two years ago and it has performed without fault and is instantly re-energised by hitting the button.

The DV52 device simply reverses the logic of the SSS so that it is set to "OFF" on start and can be set back on when required.

Without doubt the best solution so far.

What is this device and where can I get one? I want to do this on my Arteon. Stop/Start is annoying as fk.

+1 on this... What is it, where do I get it and how to I install it?

^^^^ Haha - Jimmyjames is a friend and I suspect that some of his praise for my device is perhaps motivated by our long time acquaintance!!! But thanks anyhow Jim

As for details about the handy-dandy Automatic Start/Stop Kill switch it looks like this:



DIY construction is easy and fitment is also very simple. The parts are readily available and cheap and the entire instructions can be found HERE

PS: DreamensioN- the Kill switch was designed to suit a mk7 and I'm not sure if your Arteon is wired the same. The thing that's important to check is that one side of the native SS disable switch (it's installed on the center console on a Golf mk7) is earthed. Please confirm that this is so - if not you might need to use my alternative design

Thanks for the reply but you lost me at "DIY construction" lol.
