First thing is that Stop Start was integrated into your vehicle as a Legal / Emissions Requirement. In such a way that it could not be permanently disabled. Especially easily with a Diagnostic tool !!

VCDS is a diagnostic tool.

Rosstech - Owners of VCDS - do not want it discussed on this forum for Ethical and / or Legal reasons. Are you getting the picture ?


However if you look you will find hackers out there that do advertise and would be welcome your business. That is what I know as a technician however I do not condone these illegal acts. It is selfish !! As is poisoning on a grand scale !! Same as Emission defeats !!

Yup, gone since about MY 2019. I expect it was removed due to pressure from regulatory authorities who were not pleased that it was so easy to permanently disable it on cars that were certified for emissions and fuel consumption with it enabled.
