How to disable the Audi A3's start-stop feature?

I find the start-stop feature on my Audi A3 to be quite annoying, especially in stop-and-go traffic. Is there a way to permanently disable it?

To permanently disable the start-stop feature on your Audi A3, you can use VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System) to access the central electronics control module (BCM) and deactivate the start-stop function.

Another option is to use an OBD-II device like the OBDeleven to disable the start-stop function. Just plug it in, connect to your car's OBD port, and use the app to access the BCM and make the necessary changes.
