"Just done some coding and a little bit of a play around..."

Wonder what they mean by that?

Would love that

" I can confirm the below vag mode works on my Q5 :

- module 09-Cent. Elec.
- enter Security Code (shown up by default) (mine i 20113)
- Adaptation, Type Channel 34 and hit Read button, it should show the factory default number.
subtract 4 to the value --> Start&Stop always disabled
add 32 to the value --> remember last status
- test & save

In addition of these values, if you add 64 to the value, the Start & Stop button light will be reversed: off if Start & Stop is disabled, and on if Start & Stop is enabled.

My car original number is 28, and I changed it to 60. So if the last time, Start /Stop is disable (light is on), then when engine is switch on next time it is still disable (light is still on).

Or if you wanna get rid off that extra light on button, just put in your car number + 64 and save it. "

 

Looks lika it might work on Skoda as well.

Hope someone can test it.

The latest version of the Carista app (currently in Beta test)  also lets you set an override of the start/stop.

I saw that too, but I don't think it applies to MQB cars like the Octavia III - VCDS certainly doesn't show the adaptation channels as just simple numbers...

 

Disabling start/stop can be done by other methods (changing the voltage threshold or the temperature threshold) so that could be how Carista disables start/stop?

Yeah, mind you this is not the same as disabling start-stop. This seems much more useful.

just hit it with a hammer

The Carista just disables the Start/Stop by what it describes as "Method B". Although I always switch the off button as soon as the car starts, I would prefer the save state method described in this thread so that at least I can put it back on in the very rare occasion that I want to use it.
