In this video, learn how to permanently disable the Start & Stop function on a Volkswagen Tiguan. This function is not liked by all drivers, and some find it annoying to have to deactivate it every time they get in the car. To remove the function once and for all, proceed using the OBD11 reader, and using this interface is quite simple; in the OBD11 program, go to module 19, find the "adaptation" option, then locate the "Start & Stop" setting where it indicates a limit of 7.6 volts.

We will raise it to 12 volts. Hold it down to confirm, and the function is permanently disabled.
