That being said, we’re still looking at improving this, though due to the nature of the car manufacturers themselves, we’re unable to give out any promises as to whether this will ever change or not. It’s an unfortunate circumstance resulting from the method we use. This does introduce a slight inconvenience, though: if you were to completely turn off your car’s air conditioning, the start/stop system will start working again. We do that via a well-documented coding in the car’s HVAC (Heater, Ventilation & Air Conditioning) ECU. This creates the need for us to get a bit more creative as to how we achieve that - we need to “trick” the car into thinking that the appropriate conditions for normal start/stop operation are not met. VAG doesn’t give us a method to easily achieve total start/stop system deactivation, as with MLB-platform cars. I thought Carista still doesn't have a method for the B9 platform?Īt least that's what it states on the website. I no longer need to push the auto start/stop button every time I start the car or have the A/C running if using VCDS mods. I have had this installed for about 1 month and has worked flawlessly.

Shipping took approximately 3 weeks and with today’s conversion rates, this will cost approximately $60 U.S. I purchased a memory module which remembers the last input of the auto start/stop function. For all those looking for a permanent method of disabling auto start/stop:
