Sadly everything I have tried was defeated by the vehicle.

Back to square one. Sorry folks

After studiously going through a bunch of modules over the last 4 or so hours, I may have found it. Unfortunately I won't be able to test this for 24 hours.

I believe, that by going into module 46, for the Central Module Comfort System, that if you/we change motor_variant from

Old: combustion_engine_with_start_stopp (yes, 2Ps)
to the one without start stop

That it should do it. Can anyone give this a try tonight please? If not, I will try it tomorrow.

Good find but unfortunately it will not allow this change. When you try to save the new value (combustion engine without start stopp) it says function not available.

Ive tried a few different settings and they’ve made it impossible to shut this ridiculous thing off. Highly annoying. I’m used to switching it off manually but would be nice to just have it permanently off.

Dammit. Thank you for trying. It was on my to do list tonight!

I presume you tried with Terminal 15 on and the ignition off right? Eg car in ACC mode without being started?

Yes, I’ve programmed a lot of changes already with OBD, but haven’t been able to disable Auto S/S.

Thanks for your help on this! We will all keep on trying!

I found this under Central Electrics..

"Deaktivierung der Start-Stopp-Funktion (Klimatisierung):
not active"

Wonder if that works? I'll give it a shot in a few days!

Pretty sure I tried that one but by all means... Hopefully one of us will eventually crack the code!

Hi all, any luck on this? The Q8 auto start/stop is not only driving me insane, but it’s actually dangerous in many situations. Yikes!

Thanks, any leads would help.

^ With my owning a Q5 I'm not familiar with all the control unit names on the Q8... but do you have / have you tried to access control unit (08) Air Conditioning or similar such name?
If you can access control unit (08) Air Conditioning, select 'Adaptation' and look for the parameter entitled "A/C comfort parameter for start-stop function". The default/factory value for this parameter is 5. Changing the value to 0 effectively disables start-stop permanently, at least on some Audi models such as A4, A5, Q5 and Q7. This has worked 100% on my 2018 Q5 for almost 2 years now. Good luck.

Unfortunately doesn’t work for Q8. Q8 does not even have control unit (08) Air Conditioning listed anywhere in OBDeleven.
