Turn off auto start/stop by default?
The auto start/stop feature on my 2019 coupe is driving me batty. It has almost no impact on gas mileage and it just isn’t smooth at all. to make matters worse, the 2019 removes the ability to turn it off in the Individual Dynamic Select setting.

Does anyone have any idea how to hack the system to enable it to be off by default?

You'll get in the habit of turning it off every time you start the car, soon.

So far have not found anyone with a solution. www.smartstopstart.com makes a module for GMs, I put one in my wife's new Denali and it works perfectly, cost $140. So far not for MB. Minute they make it I'll buy one. Now as soon as I get in the car I just reach over and turn it off.

you have to get it coded to remember the last setting. I got mine done at a local place called mb house here in Toronto, but not sure of any places in your area.

Try this... https://www.ebay.com/itm/MERCEDES-ca...-/252811119026

I think this is the one Sven (CFG) and da boys are referencing. I haven’t used nor have any affiliation with the seller, but may purchase at some point. Good luck.
