How to Disable Start & Stop on VAG Group Cars

Model: Audi Tt MK 3, 8S - Years 2014-2023
Part: Onboard computer

Let's see how to disable the Start & Stop feature on recent VAG Group cars. You will need an OBD11 PRO tool, which can be found on Amazon with the code B00OTG9KGG for $133.93, with free shipping in 3 days for Prime customers. Connect the device to the OBD port, turn on the ignition, and connect via the dedicated app. Access the "climate control module" and then enter the "adaptations" menu. Here, look for the parameter related to Start & Stop and the climate control, where you will modify the sensitivity value of the Start & Stop to climate comfort. The video suggests a value of 1: Start & Stop disables as soon as the air conditioning is on (even at minimum), while with a value of 5, the climate has minimal interference, allowing Start & Stop to function as per factory settings. Therefore, this procedure does not permanently disable the system but tricks it by setting a condition - the request from the climate control - that prevents activation in most cases.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
