G63 Eco button

I have a new 2013 g63 and love the truck. I completely hate the Eco button ! Is there anyway to completely disable that part of the system ??? Does anyone know? Also FYI there is only one cup holder for the passenger only and not a driver cup holder . Everything else is completely awesome ! Love the new interior

Not sure it's too much help but on my cars if you put it in sport it disables the Eco start. At least that's true on my s63. On my e63 wagon there is a Eco button that will turn off the function even in comfort mode.

Whether you want to always be in sport is another story.

The default mode is "ECO",similarly to S63 and not much you can do about it.For me it become a second nature to press that button a micro second after starting the engine.
The stop/start in G63 seems to be even less annoying then in the S63 but it still bothers me.
The cupholder on the passengers side is supposed to be for the driver (??!!),passenger has 2 indentations in the glovebox door,worthless anyway.

I suspect that someone will figure out a way to disable the ECO mode?

I do love it though! The doors really close amazingly now . Kinda the same but easier. The latch is still the same but they are using a better and different metal . The truck runs really nice and looks great
