Thanks, It is good to know that it can work on some cars, at least. But what is going on with the others?

My new Kamiq's stop-start system is hopeless. On stopping, the engine coughs and instantly restarts, so I just turn it off (when I remember to do so ). My old Nissan Note wasn't much better in that respect, but hey, it was old. The Lexus 300h hybrid I had before that was (of course) brilliant in that respect (and in most other respects) - one could barely notice the system in its silent operation; but I cannot afford such cars these days. Apart from the stop-start problem, the stubbornly inoperable Skoda connect (not solved by either the dealer of by customer services) and the fierce, snatchy brakes, the Kamiq is mostly OK, and cruises pretty well. Does anyone have a Skoda in which the stop-start system actually works?

I am having the same experience with my one week old Kamiq SEL. I have wasted hours trying to make this work, but get only as far as detecting the keys. Then ...
