HI, this is a popular question on this forum , here in the US and a presume in Europe this feature is considered a emissions device/feature. Because of its sensitive nature and potential prosecution (Federal law) , the forum typically does not describe how to defeat or disable these features.

That being said, I've seen methods on other forums regarding this feature. Some members here may also comment.

Thank you for the Auto-Scan!

All the cars with stop start I have driven in Australia and Europe have a disable button, does the Q5 have that ? So it appears legal to turn it off at least where I have driven. However they all reset to reactivate stop start when the car is turned off and restarted. The common semi permanent defeat method I have seen mentioned is a small toothpick to hold the button down :(

After dieselgate VAG disabled the known 'hacks'.

Where there is a hardware button there are 'automatic button pressing' devices available from thrird parties, but on the newest vehicles where there is only a 'soft' button then it's ECU flash mods only.

In the US the EPA have imposed 7 figure fines on companies making/endorsing/allowing emissions hacks, which is why @Uwe does not want them discussed here.

I was looking also to have the auto mirrors folding when locking the car. Can this be done on this car?

Certainly in the Uk we see the disable button - Never researched enough to know which do and which dont - Think most do ~~~

A for the toothpick trick !! Pinch of salt !! I would expect that would throw a DTC for "Button Stuck" "Mechanical Fault" Too easy to be true I think !!

Who hates Start Stop ?? I do - What a stupid idea !!

Can be done by an ECU Tuner or Re Mapper

On my 2019 Kia that I drive in Europe the stop start disable button is a hard button and jamming it down with a toothpick down its side works and does not generate any error or warning. The button is hard to reach in front of the gear lever and a pain to push each time I start the car so happy with this solution. Fortunately my Touareg in Australia does not have this "feature".

A soft button buried in menus would be a even greater problem to disable stop start !
