In this video, we will see how to permanently deactivate the Start & Stop system (although it can be reactivated). Using an adapter available on Amazon with the code B0DZCN5L2T priced at £21.99, with free delivery for Prime customers.

Use a plastic tool to pry around the start & stop button (in the central console area) and pull out the button module: you will see a small connector attached; disconnect it, take the adapter, connect the original connector to the adapter's input, connect the adapter's output to the button, replace everything in the button housing, and press it to secure it properly.

Verify its correct operation by checking that the start & stop button light remains illuminated.
