Is there a way to deactivate the automatic start/stop function on a Audi A3?

I find the automatic start/stop feature on my Audi A3 to be annoying and ineffective. Is there a way to disable it permanently?

Unfortunately, there is no way to permanently disable the automatic start/stop function. It is a factory default setting and cannot be changed. However, there are a few things you can try to minimize its impact. The first option is to use the 'Comfort' or 'Individual' driving mode, which will override the start/stop function, but at the expense of fuel efficiency. Another option is to use a battery maintainer when the car is parked for extended periods of time, as this helps maintain a more consistent battery charge and can reduce the frequency of the start/stop function. Lastly, you can also ask your Audi dealership if there are any software updates available that can make the start/stop function less intrusive.
