How to disable automatic start-stop function on Audi A5?

I have a new Audi A5 and I find the automatic start-stop function annoying and unnecessary. Is there a way to disable it permanently?

Yes, there is a way to disable the automatic start-stop function on the Audi A5. You can do this by going into the vehicle settings menu and accessing the start-stop function submenu. From there, you can select the option to turn off the automatic start-stop feature.

As a long-time Audi owner, I understand your frustration with the automatic start-stop function. To disable it permanently, you will need to use a diagnostic tool, such as VCDS or OBD11, to change the coding of the start-stop system.

There is no proven adverse effect on the engine or battery life from using the automatic start-stop function. My recommendation would be to give it a chance and see if it can improve your car's fuel efficiency and environmental impact.
