Anyone in the Chicago area have the necessary cables/tools to completely disable this feature so when turning on the car, don't have to press the button every single time? Willing to provide a 6 pack of your favorite beer.

Thanks!
I'll be in Chicago area (North Shore) in September for a wedding. Let me know if you still need help then and I will bring along my VAG COM cable and device.

Thanks! It looks like I have to pay at least for the $10 1 week to disable this...am I reading that right?

I've heard you apparently get a 1 month free trial of the Carista Pro version if you buy the Carista official adapter.

I see. Really not looking to buy cables or anything. Just hoping to get some help from an enthusiast to code this off.

Can anyone confirm is the Carista app customization works for the '17? I have an obdeleven and it their app for auto start/stop (as well as a few others) doesn't work for my '17 8V.

Carista worked fine for my 17 s3. Had it disabled for a few months now.

I don't even see the option under "apps" for this in my obdeleven.

Awesome, thanks. I've got a buddy with Carista so I'll hit him up. I don't have an app for obdeleven, but it's under adaptations. It was disabled for about a day, then it seemed to have reset.

Default Related Question...

What is the full scoop on whether or not making a customization like this affect your 2017 A3 warranty and Audi Care?

I would love to turn off this feature, but there's no way I'd risk having my dealer find the hack and have it affect any coverage I have for my A3.

Anyone else notice that the Carista site lists customization specifics for a 2016, not a 2017?

Thanks!
